Back in January 2020, we purchased a Nissan Caravan from Yahoo Auction with the plan to turn it into a camper van. Without any doubts, one of the top modifications we wanted to make to the van was change the exterior colour. Most Nissan Caravans are either black or white and we wanted our van to stand out and look unique.<\/span><\/p>

We looked into paying a garage to paint the vehicle for us, but it seemed quite expensive so we decided to do it ourselves! We researched online how to paint a camper van and purchased all the materials we needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

On the day of painting, we started very early and with two of us working on it, we managed to finish it by the time the sun went down. As you can see in the images, we did not paint the roof since we would be adding solar panels there and the colour would be difficult to see under the solar panels. <\/span><\/p>

Please note, that if you also plan on painting the roof, the whole process might take more than one day.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
