1) remove stuff you want painted from the bus
2) was (scrub!) with dish soap to remove any oils and bugs
3) dry (sun works well, cheap too)
4) mask off the VW emblem and anything you don't want painted
5) use semi-gloss spray paint and go to town. I did mine three years ago
and they still look great.  Paint used was some cheap namebrand (aka not
Ace Brand)

Cheers!
