This Summer you should by yourself a gallon of black house paint, a paint roller/tray and a 1/8 nap roller sleeve, trim brush, and whatever else you need to paint that bad boy all the same color. I had a carpenter partner years ago that poured all his left over exterior paints together and he painted the top half of his Ford van a tanish color. The paint held up remarkable well, and from 10 feet away didn't look to bad either.:)

I keep it looking like this so no one breaks into it to steal our music gear. It works.

I like the way it looks now...kinda like an ex-LAPD van or maybe a prison van.

I rode in a police van once. They have a box inside the box. I was almost sent to a mental hospital that day. I'll never forget it or being lied to by the police. Changed my life forever.
