Title: Paint Done, graphics applied
Post by: Kwajdiver on July 10, 2012, 02:03:45 PM
This doesn't even look like the same bus as it did when it was blue.
Paint job $2000.00.  Plus $500.00 to paint the bottom panels, front and rear bumper, pewter.
Graphics $800 including tax.  Stainless polished, $600.00

I like it....

Nice improvement -- good work!

I paid a kid to peel all the sticker-graphics off of mine, and now it's back to well-worn white and stainless.  Budget is a bit of an issue; I'm debating whether to re-spray some white, or go silver instead, or just wait awhile and think about it.  I'm still neck-deep in the interior build-out, so paint choice isn't at the top of my decision list right now.  I'm about to order a grand in new LED lighting...  Good times.

Cheers, John

Bill,

Really looks good!

Good example of what you can do with a little ingenuity and not breaking the bank.

And your right, looks like a different coach.  ;D

Thanks for sharing..

Cliff

Looks really good Bill.  Good work and as Mel said a good price.

Now you need to get out and put some miles on it.

I'm curious why you spent a bunch of money on paint and graphics if you are selling the bus?  I didn't the old paint job was that bad.

I wish I could find someone to paint my bus for $2000 including paint.  I figure it will cost that much just for materials for mine to do it right.  I'm also probably going to have to rent some space for a month or two to paint my bus in.  I really don't have a good outdoor space to paint away from buildings and such, plus it is windy more often than not at my house.

very nice.. did you paint this yourself?  because $2000 is CHEAP if someone else did it

Great looking graphics-very classy.  I'm so tired of the over the top graphics that are on most RV's these days.  This is just the right amount to keep it interesting.  Enjoy! Good Luck, TomC

No, I didn't paint it myself.  Most people didn't like the blue. The bus was not getting any looks.
So, I spent the money to give it a better look.  Wish I had done this four years ago.

Here's the before photo.

I can already tell, that the bus is not as warm at it was.  I'm really pleased with the out come.
Only wish I had done it sooner.
