Have attached a pic of my discovery 1 roof and as you can see the laquer has gone on most of it, having never really done anything with paint correction or anything, is there any way to restore this or is it a case of rubbing it all done and having to have a respray?

I would rub it down and get some rattle cans and spray it ma self ,
Would look much better than it does now and wouldn't cost a silly amount
Masking tape/newspaper
Wet and dry
Primer
Top coat
And a nice day

Just give at a go you should be able to get some paint knocked up at halfords they do a colour match service,or to keep it cheaper just go a nice gloss black ,I used black plasticote on my 90 and the finish is quite good.

It might come back looking ok if you mopped the roof.

I'd try that first personally.

I did my old sherpa van in brunswick green and cream many years ago.. Used cellulose for the main body and dulux undercoat and gloss for the roof and wheels.

The roof and wheels outlasted the rest..............

If I had the kit I would have a go but gonna be cheaper to repaint it than go and buy a mop etc to have a go at it I think?

Just a thought but how about trying a vinyl wrap. Lots to chose from.
