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.

Looks purdy, but I have a feeling you're going to need all them air conditioners with that dark color.  8)

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!

Now, I call that colour 'black cherry", what do you call it?  I have a pair of Luchese boots that colour!

Very nice, Brandon. I guess that means you're gonna keep it, huh?  :)

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!
