Hello! Proud new Skoolie owner!
I purchased a 2002 AmTran International flat noise handicap bus, ~30’ long 7.3eng/545tran and have started converting it. I’m so excited about this project and I’ve been snooping around this forum for a couple of months and decided I should join the community!

The color was equal parts of Rust-Oleum professional (home Depot) smoke grey, gloss white, and hunter green.

Brilliant! And probably 1/10th the cost of automotive paint!


In my day...that was called "Sea Foam Green". A favorite in the 50's.
