I just obtained a large van. What do I put on the sides?
It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I enjoy the plainness of it, but am open to putting something interesting on the sides/back.
I will implement my favorite idea without fail.
It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)
Edit: There are so many good suggestions. My current favorites are some sort of grand fantasy mural or the mystery machine (possibly with mystery replaced with my last name that also starts with an m and has the same amount of letters), or that 90's jazz pattern.
I like this one too.
I have painted a version of this on an old cop car I had and it got very positive responses from people
Why limit to the sides when you could go full Mystery Machine?
This one is tempting.
"this way up" and arrow. Should prevent rollover in the event of an accident.
This is a good one. I'm a fan of full body airbrushes.
I loved that movie so much! It’s been a while, should watch it again.
Free candy signs.
Paint it brown. Then commission an artist to design you a sick ass mural. A dragon or maybe a wizard mid cast.
SCREAMING FOR VAN-GENCE
Right idea but way too high quality.
Relatively small piece of cardboard duct taped to the van with something misspelled like "coten candy". That's the perfect panel van vibe.
Everyone will avoid you, cops won't take you seriously (unless you aren't white, in which case, best of luck with a white panel van).

One can achieve that by running over some felines.
Hire an artist to design a Mad fold-in picture that reveals something interesting when you slide the door open.
Notice, it works with text as well.
Hire someone to paint a grateful dead album cover on the side. Pay for a vanity plate that says 420GRAN
The cover to Meatloaf’s Bat Out Of Hell 2 album.
fReE cAnDy!
You could make it look like a hot wheel by adding those old school flame decals on the sides, and honestly bonus points if you go around with frosted tips, yellow shades, a flame print shirt and some shorts
Add some solar panels and a portable battery?
It’s an e-transit, so it already is a portable battery. Unless you have it parked in direct sun for several days, the solar panels don’t make up for their weight or their effect on aerodynamics.
Wings
The Grim Reaper on a motorcycle made of fire, or a unicorn and dolphins in a Lisa Frank style painting.
Personally, I'd do one on one side, the other on the other.
A scale painting of your van, but smaller.
But then the painting will have to have a scale painting of a van on it as well, for accuracy's sake.
But then that painting will as well, so keep going till you have that effect when you hold up mirrors to each other.

Lotsa good ideas...
Hear me out: Catgirls
"A large van"
Mystery machine.
Do they make glow in the dark paint for auto use? If so, then paint it glow in the dark.
Not FBI sign.
