Painting metal (a van)

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.
Any opinions?
Mildly connected: I'll be investigating getting windows fitted in the
sliding doors (it's a Citroen Dispatch), to enhance the light; *
apparently - I hear - that will also ease the operation of taking the
odd load of waste to the local tip).
Cheers

Modern oil based paints can be used, but theyre not overly hard
wearing. Non-gloss, eg eggshell, picks up dirt badly.
If you do use household gloss, at least spray it.
