Hi, I own a narrowboat which i am looking to repaint. The build up is of timber and has then been overlaid with a vinyl covering then previously painted. What would you recommend to cover the roof. There are two main issues to consider; 1) Regarding the roof, I would like to seal this as there is some degradation of the Vinyl and the roof will be walked on frequently. 2) the finish although it needs to look presentable I only trying to achieve a similar finish to a 1970s hire boat as i would like to return her to her original livery. If you Google theboattripyears there is a blog covering a number of years' trips with Willow Wren Rugby and Willow Wren Kearns Middlewich with photo links which would give you an idea of the colours i am looking for. The coverage would be approx 22msq per side and roof. If you have any ideas it would really help. Many thanks Iain Wallace
