Wow. That's quite the transformation! Is it a gray-white or is that just my screen?

I bet that will be a job doing all those windows, 😮

Thanks for the update.

Man, that's a major job. How long did it take and how many ladders did you have set up around it?

That's a lot of work, for sure. And probably a lot of paint. That old bus would look good in School Bus Yellow, but some places have laws restricting what you can paint old retired school busses. frown I guess that might explain some of the hippie themed busses, although hippies probably wouldn't care about the law, they just like flowers and rainbows. grin

Nice Job. thumbs_up

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Thanks! It took over five days with my small compressor and a single 7’ step ladder. Not to mention a pocketful of ambition.

Thanks! No less than two gallons of enamel on this monster.

Sure did. As you could guess, there are a few imperfections and bugs, dirt, dust, etc… Overall, happy to have done it myself and it looks good enough for me👍🏾
