Nice job Miss Lady.! I was thinking.... Paint the Bus all white, with The Rails painted the pretty blue/turquoise Color( like on your Bay doors.) as the Accent color.

Good job sanding. But don't forget to scuff all the shiny spots with a scuff pad i.e. around rivets, top and bottom of rub rails, around windows, etc. Your paint won't stick around those areas if it is shiny. Keep up the great work! We really enjoy watching your videos!

I just wanna say... THANK GAWD your bus is the same size as our bus... CUZ if you guys can't get in to a parking spot... Then we can't get in. Ain't nobody wanna miss out on a dope spot! LOL We going to places we can ALL fit in! "No more school bus.." Kind of a bittersweet moment huh?!! The way you said it... I felt it, and remembered that moment! Such a strange moment in time. It's kinda cool how long you kept it, cuz you got to know it that way... THEN after you paint it.. It's REALLy yours!

Hhahah birds of a feather am I right!! We will have to get creative with where we park but it will be possible!!! It was super weird seeing it without the school bus and other stickers, I had no idea that they were that noticeable, at-least to me lol! Thank you so much, it is not as fun working by yourself but like you said it gives you a great deal of confidence seeing what you are capable of! Thank you so much for yalls continuous support!!
WD-40 also works to get sticky off

G'day Meredith good job it's not easy but I admire your tenacity, WD40 is also great for removing stickers although you have already done now. Well remember " prior preparation, prevents piss poor out come!" Stay safe John

Be sure to use a good quality automotive grade paint, because you do not want to do all of that work plus stripping every two years or so...
