Thanks
That paint job is what sold that bus easy. Sold it because too darn long for my tastes. Working on my vintage Gm short WB gasser now.
The roof, BTW, was done with Kool Seal. An acrylic, white rubber-like roof sealer. Roll it on too. It expands, contracts... reflects most of the suns heat and also deadens rain sound off the metal roof. Also water proofs. Great stuff for any bus/rv roof.
I did a home made test once panting a metal porch roof with it. On a mid summer day you could not touch underside of the metal roof panels too hot!.... Applied the Kool Seal and after that, no matter how hot the sun, you could lay the flat of your hand on underside of roof panels and it felt cool to the touch. IMPRESSED ME!
Be especially great for those skoolies living in places like Florida or the S.W.
One last bit of advice. Never apply the paint or the Kool Seal in the heat of the day. It will do what's called "flash dry". It drys almost on contact, that is too fast and doesn't give it the maximum adherence. Do it early in the morning after the dew has dried off. Or under roof if you are fortunate enough to have that option.
