Oops! I was confused. Though to be honest both Blues are nice. Ok so I like Blue.

You could do sweeping lines like mine with a curl at the end for waves. Maybe
a little modernistic for your tastes. The graphics would be fairly easy to have made
  and installed.

Are your stripes painted on or vinyl?  I know a sign shop that would probably make stripes for me cheap, but not sure how long they would last.

Brian,

    The stripes are vinyl and they are holding up better than the paint job.

Bill- great looking paint job!! I can't tell you enough how tired I am at seeing the "full body" paint jobs some completely unartistic painter is putting on the motorhomes with all the swirling lines that doesn't do a thing for the lines of the bus.  Yours is much better thought out. Keep going-you're getting closer!  Good Luck, TomC

First of all, get help,,,, doesn't matter how much beer it cost you.  If you must, hire a couple kids to help, (don't give them beer, that could cause you a problem).  Your need a good size compressor.  I bought a cheap gun.  Now get someone to show you how to set all this up.  I've had a hugh learning curve, that was expensive in the way of paint.
