I have seen used vans in a safety-vest orange color, would that work? They are from some company or another.
There are also a lot of them in a lovely bright mid-blue, ex airport shuttles, feet maintained. I test drove one. Loved the color, but the paint... with the seller's permission I tried and found I could scrape it off with my thumbnail in high-dirt areas like the doors and fenders. Clearly ot had not been well cleaned, let alone sanded and primed, before painting. The seller said the shuttle co had an agreement with the paint shop and the paint job cost $800.
That kind of paint won't stand up to the scratchy branches and one lane roads I like. So, be aware!
