Welcome to another A/C bus! I've got a blue '81, too. Yours looks to be
in great shape, is that the original paint?

I'm guessing the vinyl is peeling off the interior panels, which is why
you spray painted them. I replace all of mine with baltic birch plywood,
it carries over the woodgrain theme from the cabinets.

If you don't know it's already been done, next in line should be to
replace all the fuel hoses.
