Thank you thank you thank you previous owner...

For painting the pop top on my bus with some form of girder paint.

A paint that reacts with everything I've tried to put on top, including stopper.

For painting it really badly, so its got more orange peel than Del Monte.

For making sure its got runs and is thick where it was plainly dabbed on.

But most of all, thank you for painting this crap over a roof you didn't even clean, so that this stuff flakes off along the swage lines and joy of joys, I have to sand the lot off.


I appreciate that if it weren't for PO's many buses wouldn't be still here, but there are times when a hearty kick in the nuts was lazily earnt...

 

I agree totally the things I've found the best being a used Johnny nice just like the one in the blues brothers

 

HERE-HERE!
i full heartily agree-but in our case it was sloppy applied filer & with 5000 layers of paint! it's taken me days to just rough it enough for paint & then beat out the thick as flat cakes filler, i to would love to kick you in the nutz >--chuck

hey MOONS,
have you tried some form of liquid stripper? i use thick gel type with a good turn out,

 

try marine grade strippers,since most modern boat are loaded with plastics,

 

Yes, but you're lucky. Think of the history of your bus. Forget the last owner. He messed it up and you'll be able to put his bodges right. Remember the real proper owners many years ago who took all those great camping trips together. You and your Dad! That's all that matters. Your bus will always be very, very special.

 

Akin to the geezer who welded my bus then sprayed the underside with that black sticky stuff (which hides a LOT!!!)

 

All i can say is thanks zed a great bus...

 

thanks to the edgit who welded over rusty parts over rusty parts, Wilma was like an onion in places!

 

this is one of my favourites in my early days of dub ownership, a bug with a panel the previous owner couldn't be bothered to weld in, so they fibreglassed it in instead.
