I need a paint and body shop in LA. My bus needs to be painted. She has only a little surface rust and very little body damage. I am not building a show car just want to keep her out of the scrap lot.

Welcome to theSamba James!
Seriously, you'd be decreasing the value of the bus by repainting it.

X5 or 6, painting that would be a tragedy that detracts from the bus, no amount of money or time will ever regain that finish if you paint over it, that bus has a very special something most don't, a good professional buff job would add value, even with the grey spots showing through.

Very true. It can only be original once...
