Paint Help!
Hello! I am new here and looking for suggestions on how to search/find someone to paint my bus. I dont want to go through an auto shop bc $$$. But looking for suggestions on what type of skilled worker I can hire to do a diy paint job.

Thanks!

Why not paint it yourself? A couple gallons of tractor paint rolled on can look quite nice.

There are several threads regarding painting here. A little searching will yield a lot of information.

Based on discussions here and with Sherwin Williams I have decided to spray Sher-kem paint with a $10 Harbor Freight HVLP sprayer.
