I don't think white on the back of your van is a good idea. I used the red from big rig tape strips on my NG Midget rear bumper and I used the white portion behind my front grill. Surprisingly the white showed up very good through the grill. I also used a tennis ball on my long radio antenna to find my car in parking lots.
