Cool, that's good to know. I've put my hands on a few of them but never noticed one so hot so I was curious what kind of heat they are rated for.

Some updated pics from this week. She’s nearly done being painted! My daughter Tiffany spent 4 hours making the roof line look perfect on just this side! Tomorrow we should be finished painting.
I bought metal today to put up over the upper lights. I will remove them, cut the metal, seal and screw in. Then we’ll paint over that.
CB, that back looks awesome. I love you. It’s painted now (I’ll post daylight pics tomorrow) and it looks awesome. Thank you a million times over.
My son getting ready to roll the roof.
Tiffany using an itty bitty brush to get the details.
I am so happy with this!

Dang that's a long bus. I thought it was going to kill me painting my 26' bus. You've got about 40% more to paint.
Looking good though. When you drive it see if you notice if the traffic treats you differently now that it's not yellow. I definitely noticed a difference.

Thanks! I am hoping to finish up the painting tomorrow. And then I’ll be already for our get together next week.

Yes. More people driving slow by the best that they can take video and picture. I just smile and wave, do my part, LOL.

More pics tomorrow evening, after Tiff comes back to finish the detailing on the driver's side and I've cut in the coral rub rail. I've decided NOT to paint the upper and lower rub rails black. I like the simplicity. Especially after painting (with rustoleum, lol) the bumper black. The bright white roof makes the gray really pop and I love it just how it is now.

I saw this bus mobile command unit for sale, and the rear reminds me of the window delete we did on your bus.
Got a pic of it finished?

I can’t even begin to describe how this feels!
I still need to pull the tape, letting it really dry before I do.
Tight roof line. My daughter is AMAZING!

Don't leave that masking tape on to long in that FL heat. The glue can dry out and leave a mark.

Good eye to not have painted the other 2 rub rails. Perfect accent to the gray.
