The "Tremendous" bus

[Contra Line Bus]

Didn't like purple.
Especially in Packer country.

Nice job !

What paint and technique did you use?

[BowserJournal]

Those are some bright colors! Won't mistake that for a school bus anywhere.

I air spayed the orange(3 coats) over the purple. The roof was already white from the church I got it from. White strips brushed on (3 coats)

Finally have time to post again. Here are pictures of the ceiling project. Also moved emergency exit windows to front next to other one and changed out all the clearance lights the 3/4" led's & added some.

Are those individual boards or 4'x8' panel?

If you had started with a board that was one foot short, you could have staggered all the ends so you don't have that large line across the ceiling. The overlap would keep all the boards flush on the ends.

I put a backer above the joint and will be putting a trim board over the joint.
