Good job buddy! Do you have a particular order you paint these huge buses?
I noticed you did the cab, then roof then inside, floors, then the outside? (I might have the order messed up). Is this to keep overspray off or ??
Very interested in hearing your thoughts on the painting/body work stages you do for the 21 as I am thinking of painting my 23, but the work seems ad hoc to me, I would like a more solid plan. _________________ "There is only one sin; disconnection from self." |

there was a method to the madness.
the inside first because of over spray
Held off on the cargo floor until after the roof was done to give us a place to stand while painting the opening. once the roof was done we painted the floor.
next the doors. (to test our process)
and then the outside. _________________ _______________________ |
