Having never done it myself but taking a stab in the dark I suspect you could use automotive paint from halfords for example.

You could also use a paint called plastidip, seen quite a few people use it on their cars of late with good results and from what I gather much easier than spraying.

Bit out of touch now but,i did many a van/car with coach paint get it from a coach builder it was used to paint buses at some time or a stuff called repaint from a car ex shop.These dry quick and can be put on with a foam roller or just use house hold paint but takes longer to dry again use with a foam roller..

I have just finished painting mine, I used what they call gypsy paint, all the travellers use it to keep their vans looking good.

Gypsy paint consists of 75% Exterior Brilliant White Gloss paint, the runny one and 25% clear outdoor varnish.

Mix the two together and after removing all the trim and vents etc I painted the whole van with it. It comes up great.

If you would like to see some photos of before and after reply to my email jools at homendcrescent.fsbusiness.co.uk with your email address and I will send you some.
