Black looks nice, and it is easy to paint, but the
body work HAS to be perfect in order for it to look
nice. It's also the hardest to keep clean.

 Red is a little more forgiving but it also is the
most expensive as far as material costs.

Silver looks really nice IMHO, but it can be hard to
spray evenly on a van that size.... one of the reasons
why I'm not doing my van in silver.

 I'm painting my van this winter a nice deep red. the
paint costs about $325 per gallon, and I'll probably
need a gallon and 1/2 to do it inside and out.

 I'll document the process as I go along, but right
now, I've got a few other vehicles in my shop I need
ot clear out first.
