Wow, very nice work.
Mind you, I looked at the word "paint" and thought "You've got to be kidding??!!"..........until I saw that you're on the Sunny Coast.
Wish it was painting weather down here...... :x

Looking great Rick. Painting the underside of buses is not a fun job, almost as bad as painting inside a treasure chest!
