With all due respect, that's pointless.
Yep pointless. Better to do like I said above and put lines of tiger seal along the raised ribs of the floor, not to save the paint, but it will stop it squeaking.
Also don't forget when you're screwing it down - DON'T DRIVE SCREWS IN ABOVE THE DIESEL TANK, unless you want to replace that too.
If your talking about ply lining inside the rear window spaces in the barn doors then screw some bits of wood inside the edges of the window spaces and the screw the ply to them.
If your going to ply line the whole of the rear door top to bottom then just screw into the doors.
When I did mine I used 5mm for sides and back and 12mm phenolic ply for the floor.
Someone remind me what the is name of that manual you can download from ETIS, its shows you where not to screw into so you dont go through wiring or other equipment in the doors or sides of the van.
Was it "Body Modification Manual" or "BEM" or something?
Whatever its called, download that.
