Thanks!

Roof and engine bay are the only without primer.. so i am currently sanding the engine bay and remove the roof gutter seam seal.. what a pain in the.. Confused

Still don't know if i paint the engine bay with my spraygun or just rattle can it!

In the past i had some good results with 2k color rattle cans!

Let sand it first and then decide Very Happy

Engine bay is in epoxy primer!

Seam sealer in the roof gutter is also removed.
Soms small surface rust under the sealer, nothing too bad!

The spray booth is too small for the entire bus..
I bought the booth to spray final primer after bodywork on all doors, hatches and other small parts.

After a long time waiting (16weeks) my TMI seat covers finaly arrived!!

Super stoked with the mesh platinum color Cool

Now i need to order the WW coconut/horsehair seat pads and then the seats are finished!

Do i need to 'hog ring' the pads onto my seat frame or not? Because WW pads already folds around the seat frame?

Originals were not hog ringed I'm pretty sure. I have the same TMI covers to go on but Mine are walkthrough. We are supposed to use the string to pull in wire.

Thanks!

Did you insert a metal rod into the covers to put over the sharp clips?
