had this to say:

Hi all

I'm acquiring a van shortly (purely for recreational use - camping,
biking that sort of thing).

I want to paint the inside white, in order to make it a lot lighter. I
was planning on simply using ordinary undercoat and an eggshell type of
finish. This will be fine for the three walls (which are ply-lined) but
I was wondering if it's also OK for the roof.


Dare I suggest Hammerite?


In my experience Hammerite just isn't flexible enough for car
bodywork. It ends up cracking and flaking off.

I would use a brushing cellulose enamel specifically designed for
brush painting vehicles. Keep the vehicle well ventilated when using,
and take frequent breaks to avoid getting fumed up.
