Re: paint
Paul I can now see your Avatar and it looks like your van is mostly white paint.
Don't use the acid wash on that! Depending on how bad your van is I reckon a good scrub with sugar soap & then a 2-pack paint sprayed on would be the best.
Most crash repairers have large drums of it & will fill your container for you.
Don't be tempted to use house paint!
You really need a shed to do it in though.
Terry would know all about the better paints to use.

Re: paint
Helen,
What about using one of those white glitter textas...
You know, the ones the 7-year-old girls use on their My Little Ponies
