Will look at your project when get more time. Looks great from glancing through.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing the interior coming along.

Unfortunately we've had some serious problems with the paint on the bus so its got to be done again, we also had to move it today

What?

Been following your thread , had a body shop for 18 years, what has gone wrong with the paint
Years ago I had a custom moggy minor spent weeks doing the paint, then on the last coat of lacquer it reacted & went wrinkly all over as it dried

Not really sure, I think possibly a reaction with the lacquer on the Cocoa as we ended up with tiny white spots, but then we also ended up with some dark spots over the beige

I took Mr Bo to the new spray booth location, first thing this morning,
Carl's objective today was to get the roof completely repainted to the gutter level & the "Flo-clear", applied. He popped into work a minute ago & he's really pleased. A bit of masking in the morning then the rest of the beige applied on Monday, then Cocoa & Flo-clear on Tuesday............ So can everyone keep their fingers crossed for us this time

Popped down to see the progress this morning & got pictures of the roof completed, the finish, so far, is much better this time thank goodness.



I'll pop down tomorrow to see todays results.

If the rest looks like the roof fingers crossed

These pictures are from this morning, all the top colour done




Then this evening in the booth , with the Cocoa & first coat of Flo-Clear lacquer,


Later tonight the remaining layers will be applied , then baked.
In the morning I'll be racing down to the unit, to check it out, Carl is really pleased with the results this time, thankfully.
Then moving it back to his unit for the re-fit.
