hey Steve, how ya doin?
One option on that paint job, that I heard of, and made a lot of sense to me,
because of all of the EPA laws & such, plus the fact that your neighbors just
aren't going to like that paint dust & smell wafting over on their cars, is:
As previously posted, strip everything, fix all the ouches, sand and prep,
then:
take that puppy over to Maco.
It`s not their paint spraying that's crap, it`s their prep.
You can probably work out a decent price with them for this.
And they`ll bake it as well.
Another thought is High School night classes. Use their paint booth. for $35
you get the use of their expertise, and facilities.
I`d stick with the same color.
It would probably take (me) about one week to strip the bus, and five years
to get it back together.
Best of luck, and Happy Trails!
