Hi! Thank you
It was car paint. My dad was a classic car restorer. I believe the manufacturer is Movac. The colours are Standard Triumph Wedgewood Blue (to match the car) and Land Rover Limestone (the creamy colour). It's lasted very well. We did one primer coat with standard cream primer, and then two coats of each top coat. That was quite a few years ago now and we've not had to redo it. The only issue is a couple of scuffs where the windows touch the walls when it's folded, but hardly noticeable.

Hi thank you for the reply was it celly or acrilic
Not sure of the spelling ha ha
Also if you don't mind me asking do you have any pictures of the seals req as most of mine are missing , it looks to me from your pictures that there is a seal on the top of the side walls , also I have a bit of foam on the top of the end walls should this go all along the top many thanks
