painting roof liner

hello to all. on my 06 Newmar Mountain Aire I have water staining on the vinyl ceiling liner. the leak problem has been solved last year I am wondering how to color match the ceiling material for painting. I can"t seem to be able to find a close color in existing spray cans, I am going to use a stain blocker primer first then maybe get some latex paint mixed up using the closest color samples then purchase a small spray gun and apply. Wondering if anyone has had sucess whith this issue thanks

    I would contact an upholsterer and ask them what products can be used to "paint" vinyl. Since Vinyl is flexible and inherently repels moisture you'll need a specific product in order to adhere and flex.
  • Before doing that try oxy clean on the stain. I know it sounds silly, but several years ago we had a racoon take up residence in our attic that left some pee stains. In frustration I took one of those two part carpet/upholstery cleaner cans and sprayed the stain. When it dried the stain was totally gone.
