Replacement hatches/painting lining

[marianne]

We are now looking to replace the original wooden deck hatch on our LM27.  I had thought I had found a replacement with Plexifix in Denmark who used to offer a square ABS replacement which was a perfect fit.  Unfortunately they no longer have that and offer an acrylic one as fitted to the Mk2 version but it is rather pricey!  Does anyone have another possible source or know of a commonly available hatch in UK or EU that would fit?
We are also trying to smarten up various interior aspects of the boat and wondered if anyone has successfully painted the softer interior wall lining.
We would appreciate any thoughts
