Gloss White as a matter of fact. The Gloss White is going to lighten inside.
The wood paneling and Wooden floor should really work off the gloss white.
Light and airy.
That way, when people are roasting in the back during the hot Virginia
summer, they can feel light and airy.
To paint the inside of the bus you must remove everything
and tape everything and cover everything and sand everything.
It is a tedious task.
I'm glad that the summer was over.
I would have sweated like 2 pigs in the bus.
Lots of tape, paper and plastic sheeting is needed to paint the interior.
I used my sprayer and put on 2 good coats. It was well worth it.
Here's some pictures-
Here's what I was dealing with.Rustoleum red primer on the floor.
The rear has already been coated with
Duplicolor Truck Bedliner. No white for this area.
I started to cover everything. This tooka while. Over two days. Granted I only worked for about 2 hours a day on this. About 4 hours of tape and cover. Painting with the sprayer took about an hour with 2 coats. I let it dry for about 5 days.
The sprayer
is from Harbor Freight tools.
High Velocity
Low Pressure
Electric Turbine Sprayer.
$36.00 on sale.
Quiet, easy to use, no compressor needed and very little overspray.
As far as the paint- Rustoleum Gloss White- 1 pint and thinned 10% with acetone.
Drying time is slower with a 10% mix. I gave it about 5 days.
I'm ready to paint.
I had plenty of ventilation.
Doors open, out side with a slight wind,
overall, good painting weather.
Be careful. Ventilation is good and critical.
The exposed area of hair- was painted white.
Merlin was interested.
Charlie, on the other hand, couldn't
give a crap what was was going on.
I'll start insulating and installing panels later.
The white really looks better than I
had originally thought it would.
It looks cleaner, newer, better.
I'll be installing the floor in the next week or so.
I think this bus will look nice when it's
finished.
So far, so good.
