1. Do we need to thin our paint (rustoleum)?
Many advise this particularly if you are spraying
2. Will we need to sand the whole bus? If so, what grit?
Yes-120/200?
3. Many talk about washing the paint with TSP or acetone or just dish soap. Is it necessary to use the chemicals or is dish soap enough?

Bondo, silicon caulk, construction adhesive, epoxy, fiberglass etc
5. Will any paper/newspaper work to tape up the windows and bumpers?
