Painting airstream interior. Walls of most airstreams is going to be aluminum. Since airstream put the cabinets in over the covering to remove and replace the covering requires gutting the interior. I think they look quite awesome now.
You might also try gluing down the peeled sections with polyurethane glue masking the interior well and then rolling on or spraying an oil based primersealer then top coating with an oil based or acrylic paint finish. Its a great question and we spent a lot of time visiting paint stores and doing our own research online. Congrats on your airstream.
