does it really need the paint job? it will devalue your caravan if your only doing it for your tastes.
but as with any decorating job the success of it will down to the amount of preparation you do. all washing down with sugar soap and left to dry, then sanded and primed, your best going for a matt paint, and would suggest buying decent paint such as farrow and ball.
saying that im not a fan of painted caravans and would walk away from one.

sorry but you cant change what it is just by putting a different colour on it, it will be and always has been a caravan albeit a static one. save your money and buy some nice accessories instead

I wonder whether it would devalue the caravan, unless it's an older one.
My static caravan is very beige! And beige is boring! Dark green curtains as well... not a brilliant colour choice!
What I did was to buy some dark red velour throws (one is a deep wine colour, the other has printed poppies on it) to put on the seats, so that brought a bit of colour in, and also keeps the seats clean. A few scatter cushions added a bit more colour. A few little ornaments did a bit more, and I also added a few art pictures.
I can understand why you want to put your own stamp on it. But, as Marg6 says above, it's a holiday home. If you ever want to sell it on, it might be difficult due to everyone's tastes being different.
