I like that about him!

She's gutted, paint prep next.
You're going to need a lot of one way glass and sound proofing!
Flat black paint on the inside of that glass & some egg crates

So it has taken over a year but I finally got the bus in the paint shop. We just chose the color this week. We were originally going with silver then I decided I didn't want it to look like a hillybilly coors light beer can.
Analogy of the major color groups for a school bus for my taste:
Red = red is just too red...doesn't work.
Blue's = too "Churchy"
Orange = sucks and could look HD which would double suck.
Yellow = sucks and always does
White = refer to blue above
Black = its not a hearse
Green = I love green like Tony loves #4.
So we already picked out one of the colors below and hopefully by end of the day tomorrow it will no longer be "national school bus yellow".
If you can blow up the pic I think you can read the numbers, which one do you like? See if your taste is awesome like mine.

I see gappys bus and I want it painted black
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see gappys bus I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see gappys bus and I want it painted black
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,..
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

On a serious note, I second johns 42126. "Camp Heyawannalaya Green".
I vote for Sublime
I can't upload my picture of a Sublime Cuda, but it would be amazingly ugly on a bus.

Yea some colors you think would be awesome because they were awesome on something else (much smaller) actually would be hideous on a big canvas like a bus......like any bright color.
Camp Heyawannalaya Green is wrong but that is about the same green as our last bus we painted.
This one we went with what I refer to as a army green with a shine. The top will stay white for hot summer days.
The old bus

Gappy green sounds more appropriate, just sayin'.

Paint is on and out of the booth. Can't wait to take it back home and "Gappyize" it.
It looks military. I change my vote to repaint it labia pink.
Looks apocalyptic. I like it!
Do you have any drawings of the layout inside Mr Brady?
Love the forward control. Those are fun to drive!
preliminary floor plans. all seats removed for a room large enough for activities. You can see the stripper pole and giant water bed and giant 80s era speakers and DJ booth. Not shown is the sex swing, disco ball and other things I either can't draw or shouldn't post to a family site.

It will most likely be less brass and more Gappyness. Will have to see if what's in my head lays out very well
