Thinking of using my white 77 Westy as a canvas to paint some cool art on it. Any tips for preparation, type of paint to use etc?

I've never done this before Smile

That Franz bus is really cool, we work right next to the bakery in Spokane and see it often. I think they have one that runs around Portland that its painted the same.
