When it comes to building the ultimate off-road adventure van, performance and functionality are just the beginning. At Off Highway Van, we believe your rig should reflect your style, too. That’s why we offer a wide range of customization options to dial in your camper van’s color palette—from bold and rugged to sleek and modern, and everything in between.
Designing Your Custom Camper Van Color Palette
Here’s how you can make your Off Highway Van truly yours, one custom finish at a time:
Main Powder Coat
The great thing about powder coats is, you can choose from nearly unlimited color options! This is where your van’s core components get their color including your Series A aluminum galley, shower box, and more!

Your main powder coat is applied to the following areas of your camper van build:
Series A™ Seat Boxes
Series A™ Galley
Cargo Fender Boxes
This main tone sets the visual foundation for your interior—think of it as the anchor to your entire color scheme (shown as mauve above).
Accent Powder Coat
Add contrast or subtle coordination with accent powder coat options. These accent areas are still visible in your build, but take up much less visual space than your main powder coat options. Don't be afraid to go a little wild with this accent.

The accent powder coat is applied to the van's:
Series A™ Upper Cabinetry
Series A™ Over-Driver Shelf
Series A™ Bedframe
These surfaces give you the chance to create visual depth, highlight key areas, or bring in a pop of color without it taking up a ton of visual space.
Solid Surface Countertops
Select from a curated range of durable and stylish solid surface countertop finishes that will stand the test of time, and look good doing it.

Whether you want a rugged, stone-like look or a warm tone, your galley can match your vibe while standing up to real-world use.
Galley, Cabinetry, and Cafe Table
Our cabinet faces can be finished in a variety of materials and colors including cherry, maple, sapele, and more. They can even be inlaid with resin of any color!

Blend your cabinets into your color scheme into your interior for a clean, minimal feel—or contrast them to make a bold statement like this blue-river resin inlay! You can also customize the surface of your Lagun cafe table to match or accent your countertop, cabinetry, or seating—this small piece can make a big impact on the interior aesthetic.
Flooring
Your floor is one of the most visible pieces of your entire van color pallete and we typically suggest choosing this color and style first before making additional decisions about your van's design.

Choose from durable , marine-grade materials, from Lonseal flooring, in a range of colors and textures—from natural wood grains to industrial grays—to create the perfect base layer for your camper van conversion.
Wall & Ceiling Fabrics
Soft, sound-dampening wall and ceiling fabrics not only enhance comfort but also allow for a personalized aesthetic. While other builders give you exciting choices like gray or tan, we lean into customization and allow you to choose a material every other van won't have.

Choose neutral tones for a refined, luxurious look or go with richer colors for a cozy cabin feel like this Sundance Kid with green wall panels and a royal purple cieling. Why limit yourself to two color choices when there's a whole spectrum out there?
Upholstery (Seats & Cushions)
From driver and passenger seats to your seat box cushions and dinette, choose fabrics, colors, and patterns that suit your taste and lifestyle. You can even customize stitching, pattern, and more like these custom mountain patterned seats shown below!

Our premium, easy-to-clean materials are both rugged and refined and allow for customization beyond what other builders offer. We can even reupholster your front seats to match your color pallete (Included with our Pro-X Trim).
Exterior Graphics
Why stop at the inside? Customize your van’s exterior with one of our bold graphics packages! We offer both a standard wrap option and an R variant that is added to your van build when you choose our R Package!


Whether you're looking to make a statement or keep it stealthy, your Off Highway Van will stand out on the trail—and blend in when you need it to.
