I'm a happy camper today, finally got the bus painted! Also new windshields and all new window rubber from Luke. I haven't seen it in person yet, but from what I can tell from the photos it looks good.
First time posting pics, so bear with me. A few before and after.

Going to pick her up in the morning. Man, feels like I just had a new baby!
Looks purdy, but I have a feeling you're going to need all them air conditioners with that dark color. 8)
Yeah, it was pretty dark before, now at least I got a little white on the top!
A few more pics,

Can I ask the "Who, what did they/you do, and where and how much"? Looks great! Always helps those of us who need paint to see other fresh jobs!
Glenn
Now, I call that colour 'black cherry", what do you call it? I have a pair of Luchese boots that colour!
Brian
Very nice, Brandon. I guess that means you're gonna keep it, huh? :)
Bob
Tenor,
Central Carolina Body Works in Sophia,NC did the work. They did it all, replaced windshields,widow rubber, repaired some rust, replaced some rivets, primer/sealer, 2 coats of color and 2 coats of clear, all for $6,600. I thought this was a heck of a good price! They are a bus painting outfit, so I guess they got it down pat.
Brian,
Here's a pic of the can of color. Man, I gotta barrow those boots sometime!

Hey Bob,
Yeah, she's a keeper! Your spare engine is doing great!
B E A utiful....i must admit the warning on the paint can brings me great humor
This paint may be harmful if eaten or chewed...........
Awsome Color!
Sweet paint job!!!
Beautiful! What is the silver color on the bottom half?
looks awesome.Love the color.
You must be very proud of the new baby! ;D ;D ;D
Very nice, love the color combo!
Thanks for sharing.
Grant
Thanks for all the compliments, I still can't really believe it. Heading there this morning to see it in person. :o
Doug, not sure the name of the silver. I would have preferred to have the aluminum polished,but it had been painted in the previous paint job. A bit easier than polishing I guess.
Outsatnding, outstanding, outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the color!!!!! I hope you can keep her cool (as was mentioned) but I gotta tell ya, I think it looks fantastic!!!!! I can appreciate having to work with the little extra heat to have such a nice looking bus. Sounds like a reasonable deal also.
