Which paint should i use to paint a caravan roof?

I have a Swift rapide 490/5 1992 model. I want to brighten up the roof. Should i use paint, if so which paint should i use?

Don't use cell paint,most vans are painted in 2/3 pack paint.
The cell paint can cause a reaction with the existing paint,

Use exterior gloss paint,and apply it with a gloss roller.
Don't use that none drip type liquid gloss is the best,several coats will give you a nice finish.

Spend some time on preparing the roof prior to painting,flat the whole area by hand or orbital sander,the grade of paper used is your choice.

1200 fine grade will do.

cheapest is brush on cellulose paint spaying whole roof requires a mortgage.
good quality brush thinners rag and medium grade 'wet and dry' paper, silicone or carborundum paper whatever you want to call it. Seek advice as store for good 'clear' protection coating that is also brush on.
