It could be mdf that is sprayed gloss or mdf that is wrapped high gloss. I used to be in that bussiness and woukd not recommend any of those two for a kombi interior. It cant take alot of beating.

Best would be to use Marine ply
Its stronger, lighter, thinner and you can leave it wood grain, or you can flat it down, and paint it high gloss.
