    Got the front salon ceiling in finally. Used sytrofoam tiles, they look really good and was easy to install. Hope they last!

    AL, I learned a tough lesson on painting one these buses. This is a single stage process. The first bus I went and bought $2000 worth of metallic auto paint. Without a professional paint booth it’s hard to make it work. I did a little research and a professional painter he showed me how to custom match Rustoleum to my Jaguar convertible. Using mineral spirits with the paint it retarded the drying time and made a great shine. After a couple months curing wiped it down with Lacquer thinner and waxed with buffer. Test is I’m wondering if it will hold up. We’ll see!!! Anyway paint job costed $85 over a period of a year to complete because I had limited time and weather. I steered away from clear coat because you really have to know what you’re doing or you get the peel going on when paint gets old.
