I bought thin panels with formica kind of hard surface with some patterns on it that I found acceptable. Took me a long time to find it. They sent samples, I chose two of them, bought 15 sheets, because if I buy 3 sheets would have cost me the same. I did cut out interiors for about four vans, maybe someone would want them. I only installed into two vans all around, except the front door panels. If anyone wants them, I can send, we can settle the price.

There's a Samba photo of one van with a mirror look on that bunk panel; owner found a Mylar sheet or something that looks very cool. I think it's in the "plenum" thread.
