[header] How to customize the interior of your van [title] Prepare your van for painting. [step] Before you paint, be sure to remove or cover up anything that you don't want to get paint on. Remove all fixtures including floor mats, furniture, and any removable shelving. 
Items that can't be removed-such as carpeting and door handles-should be taped over or covered in newspaper so that you don't accidentally paint them too. [substeps] Completely clean the surface you are going to paint.
