*We went to "BOB's PAINT" and bought some machine enamal
and reducer in flat black..

The plan "A" was a two tone flat primer style paint job.

We loaded up the top-fed HVLP gun from Harbor Frieght
and shot 2 quarts of flat black from the waist line up on
the '65 panel.. *Outdoors-

Suddenly.. I MONSTER summer thunderstorm came up.

The rain pounded!

*Now.. the bus painted surface has a "gritty" feel like
sand.. and rubs off.

This was Oil base enamal...

Sand it all off and start over?
