| Having flung a considerable amount of paint at that thing in my youth I'm really curious to see what this will look like down the road and if you'll ever get that smell out of all of the nooks and crannies. Good luck to you and if you take this to any of the shows/cruises in So Cal, bring pics of the process, please! |

I would never have guessed that would peel off so easy. Maybe the many layers held moisture that inhibited drying? great thread

Discovered today that the cargo floor is still intact and looks to be pretty solid. Took a little while to dig all the mess that was in top off it

| I bet if you used a porta-power to push that collapsed roof up back into shape a bunch of the paint would pop off on it's own. |

I'd call your local Juvenile Court and offer your bus as a clean up project for all those little graffiti mayhem causing bastages who need community service hours. It would come back clean in three weeks here in Boise.

Have you tried hitting it with a pressure washer yet?

| I think I'll going to hit it with a pressure washer soon. I'll keep you guys posted. I like the idea of graffiti removal too. Brilliant! |
