hi i have an older swift challenger and would like to jazz it up a bit, i would like to know if it is ok to paint the old laminated cupboards or best to re laminate them, and the best products to do the job.

Hi Julie,
If you pop down to your local paint store or Focus/B&Q etc, get yourself at tin of MSP (multi surface preparation). It is a thin liquid with a consistency of water that you wipe over the surface to be painted, after five minutes wipe off the surplus and you can paint your cupboards after 90 minutes.
Its marvelous stuff it leaves a deposit that really makes paint stick .
It works on glass, plastic and your laminates. Costs about £8-50 for a tin which will do your caravan and half your home.
