Agreed! If you are just painting, wait until you are ready to paint before sanding. Big time !

you really need to look close at the stripes. see if they are paint or decals. Allot of conversion companies use decals. some even used both. Unfortunately if the stripes are painted they will have to be sanded down to bare metal to get them right. A good heat gun will lift decal stripes.
Good luck with your project.......

 The stripes on my van were painted on and the body guy did not sand them all the down. Even now if you look real close in the right light you can still see where the stripes were. Good luck on the rebuild! (blue always looks good on vans)

Riverratcustomz, there's another possibility for you; a while back someone posted a link to a video showing a fellow painting an entire van mural with UV fluorescent paints, which looked really cool - totally different view between daylight and UV light.
Many of those paint additives aren't ultraviolet stable though, so they won't last very long out in the open.
