We sanded the grain from the bumper with 400 paper to avoid it going fluffy, took ages... Then, plastic primer, a base white. Then flatted and filled any imperfections then three coats of candy white on too finish.
Pictures don't do the difference justice

Personally I'd do the facelift too much work for the van to just look standard.
