Depending on the year of your van this may be worth a trip to the
junkyard or eBay.  If you have a flat passenger side mirror (my 84 did)
you can replace it with the improved "Objects in Mirror..." variety.

There are products available that 'make paint stick to plastic' -- I use
one with the brand-name 'Bulldog' available at auto paint suppliers.
Krylon (again) has come out with a version of paint specifically for
plastic.  Have used both but not on the mirrors.
