Ready for Decorateing

I have just recently rebuilt the front end of my van,Put in new window frames and other wood work,And now i am ready to paper,This is the front of the van,Now would you use the self adhesive backed paper (b&q) or would you use normal washable wall paper as this seems a bit thicker,,Thanks, Eddie,
 
Neither. The framework will "move" a little under tow, and could easily split either of these covereings. I'd go for a fabric rather than paper - you can get self adhesive - which will hopefully be a little more robust. I suspect most of the panels in new vans are pre-covered before installation which means they can be nice and tidy and tight; in fact they probably come to the manufacturers all ready covered. Good luck.

G thx for that,,
 
eddie having rebuilt two older vans,one compleatly,if you use a good quaility paper!you can repaper your van,use solvite super paste,but you must leave a small,crease/over push/lap in the corners,panel ends.

i have been inside one of the vans i papered 4 years ago and yes its still well sealed in the seems.ps,were the panels join,ie front/sides,use a good silicone to add flex

Yea thx for that Chris,paper does seem to be the best option as its movealble if you put it on wrong and there is quite a chioce out there and of course it tends to be a bit cheaper than the other stuff,Do you mean over lap at the seams when putting on the paper,Thanks mate,
