I have been working inside of the bus during a pretty good storm. Rain in sheets pretty much raining sideways. Wind 30+mph and gusting to 50.

Not a drop of water in the bus except for what came in around the bottom of the service door. Ithere is a 3/16" gap at the base of the door that I need to address.

Resurrecting an old thread here - Did you experience any problems painting over the SS rivet heads? If not, how did you prep them and what kind of paint did you use?
