Would you get your interior resprayed to update your van ?

[Rusticrogers]

Morning all.

Can I ask a question of the MHF users please?
If your van was of a certain age and had everything you needed in terms of layout, storage etc but was just starting to look it’s age with the orangey wood effect becoming too much after a while, would you ever consider taking your motorhome somewhere ( or someone comes to you) to get all the internal cabinetry etc resprayed?
I ask this because in the main, motorhomes look great but can look dated quite quickly but a simple colour change could then give a few more years happy useage.
To remain transparent, I operate a furniture, kitchen, windows etc spraying business and consider a motorhome to be no more difficult than respraying an in situ kitchen in someone’s home and I’m trying to gauge interest, or not.
Thanks
Steve

I recently saw a van that was "updated" with the use of carbon fibre look vinyl wrap and 2 tone grey paint. Whereas it looked ok, it had a very limited market appeal when being sold

I'm not surprised, carbon fibre is for sports cars not motorhome interiors

Just had a shuftie at your media images, you had a heck of a lot of work on there, well done for sorting it all out!

As an aside I saw the photo about artificial grass and the heat it reaches in the sun ... frightening!

Yes, I'd buy this service.

These photos of a simple oak kitchen show the lift a colour can give. The quality of the units remain but just brighten things up.

Impressive. If I had an old van I'd definitely consider it.

Personally. No.
I like the wood effect and our soft furnishing is mainly dark blue with goldy coloured curtains.
I would worry about getting a paint job then regretting it!

 

[Riverbankannie]

Wow, looking at your media photos, that not just an interior update !
I particularly like the transformation of the outside.
Well done.

I think it is facebook as that is the only link I can find, thee are some pics on a general search but they seem to be all interior decorating bits and pieces

Ahh - bit too far I think - at least a motorhome can travel to you

Afternoon all Funsters.
I’d like to revisit this post if I may.
I have a great belief in this additional service to what we do being a service that people might like.
I’m going to actually pick a motorhome n the coming weeks and carry out a full interior recolour so that I can show how much different the interior can look but in the meantime, I’d like to ask a few questions with regards logistics if I may?
How far would you travel to drop off?
Would you think about it more if there was a collection and delivery service?
Would
Would you look to autumn/ winter to consider getting the work done?
Would a live internet feed log in to a constant video feed make you feel better about the service?
And, would you consider a bumper, skirt, lower plastic update, or even a vinyl floor recovering at the same time?
I appreciate there are a few questions but I want to make sure of viability for motorhomes before looking into things further.
Here’s an example of the masking process on a conventional kitchen.

Artificial grass does get warm in the sun. Our dogs executive washroom with AstroTurf and a streetlight is in the shade apart from early morning so is OK. On a cold but sunny day a patch in front of the shed door is a favourite place for dogs to lie as it gets warm.

Current situation from security camera. The white blodge is a spider on the lens.

I don’t think that I would be interested, I am likely to replace current MH before it needs refreshing. If I were to have a much older MH, then I probably would go DIY as I have had good results in the house updating pine furniture.
So it is difficult to answer your specific questions, sorry.

That's exactly what we want doing. Unfortunately, we're in Spain and not thinking about travelling to the UK in the foreseeable future.

Stick on vinal works a treat on our old van

Could we stay for a week?

OMG ... that's a ghost spider ... be careful as they can 'walk' through walls and frighten you in the night when they 'jump' on you!

My van is vintage - hit 30 years old last month - so should I refurb I need to be very careful.

Tasteful refurbing that kind of thing because it would be like taking an old Fiesta, slapping on wheel trims and go-faster stripes on the side and putting fake racing seatcovers on inside with bright red floor mats and hoping that people would think it was trendy!

For my rig, I think looking back is better because it seems it was already retro when it was made - I can't look anywhere except the old Ducato dashboard and not see the colour brown or fake wood - must add some!
