Hi, I am Christine in MT

Hello, I just bought a 1978 trillium 1300 camper. She needs a lot of work, so I will probably be asking a lot of questions.
First question that I have for the group is, has anybody painted the exterior of their trillium with acrylic paint? I have read online that if I sand it, apply the fiberglass primer, that acrylic works.
I would love some input before I attempt it.

Thanks!

I used rustoleum topside with a roller and sanded in between every coat and was happy with the results. I used a sand beige color and mixed in a bit of white with the tan to lighten the color. It's on a 73 e.c.o
