Hi Tuga,
My first Newell was a 78 which had the dark laminate throughout the entire interior. I Had all the walls redone with ultraleather and I painted all of the cabinets, closets, etc eight years ago and the coach is here in the same park that I am now. The paint is as good as when I put it on with no peeling, fading or distortions of any kind. The trick to painting over laminate is you have to rough it up and use the proper primer. There are many types of primer and the key is to use the proper one.
I have done a lot of painting in my days and I can assure that there are not too many things that you cannot paint if you use proper preperations before you apply the paint.
When I bought the coach Phyllis like the coach but did not like the fact that it was so dark inside and I agreed that if we got it I would re-due the entire interior and I did in a reas light greenish grey color.
