Can’t seem to paint without the orange peel …
Some professional painters will make the final coal very thin so it flows out more evenly and settle flatter.
Your bus is looking fantastic. |

And we have a runner 🥲
Bad day in the paint tent, made a lot of mistakes
Used putty to sand away the runners, worked out pretty well
Taped of the part way to close so now a lot of sanding
without damaging the bodywork 😭 why why
and they said it would be easy... hell no 🤣
Found some finer grid paper, maybe an even better finish

| What you call a "bad day in the paint tent" I would call Fantastic progress. Beautiful work, if it was easy, anyone could do it. |

| Yes, what they said ^^^. I've never seen that putty trick before. Looks to have worked. Is the paint with hardener? |

| Looks great. Can you share more about using putty for the run? Never seen that either. What is the theory there? |

It certainly saved me a lot of money spraying the bus myself.
Spraying the inside, outside and bottom of the bus with a professional painter would have cost me 4 times as much
But I think I also worked on it 10 times longer 😄
it's definitely not a perfect paint job but i'm happy with the result
i won't be afraid to take it on the road
One more advantage when i do have paint damage on the road don't have to worry about repairs anymore because now… I have the skill to fix it 😂 |
