It does have logos but they are very faint. They are white logos that where painted over the red. Then some one sprayed it all white. The top of the bus has about 4 paint jobs on it. I'm not sure if I should just try and get the logos back out or if I should try and bring it back down to the dove blue |
I think it looks great like it is with all the old resprays wearing through it might have great dove blue paint it might not thats always the risk.
I would leave it
