Degrease the exterior<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wait for a sunny day, then try to make a fun time out of completely degreasing the exterior.&nbsp; Lots of soapy water and rags, getting into every nook and cranny and working around every screw and rivet.&nbsp; This is really important, because the primer won&#8217;t stick to a dirty surface.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 &#8211; Sand the exterior<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We thought we needed to sand through the yellow paint down to metal.&nbsp; We were wrong.&nbsp; That yellow paint and its underlying primer are rock solid protection for the metal skin of your bus.&nbsp; You don&#8217;t want to take that away.&nbsp; Instead you want to remove just the clear coat over the yellow paint, and insodoing provide enough texture for the primer to stick well.<\/li><li>If you plan to keep your current reflectors, tape over them with masking tape to protect them from your sanding.<\/li><li>Use 320, 400, and 600 grit sandpaper to very lightly sand the exterior.&nbsp; You want the surface to lose its shine and appear matte.&nbsp; You do&nbsp;<em>not<\/em> want to wear away the yellow.<\/li><li>Be very detailed with this.&nbsp; Work to remove the clear coat on and around every rivet and support bar.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a royal pain in the butt, and we&#8217;re really grateful our dear friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.claudiak.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Claudia<\/a> was there with us in the trenches!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 &#8211; Wipe down sanded exterior &amp; prep<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>After sanding, the exterior is going to be covered in yellow dust.&nbsp; Wipe this off with rags.<\/li><li>Wipe the entire exterior with Prep All, making sure to get every nook and cranny.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 &#8211; Tape off the windows<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use paper and masking tape to tape off:\n<ul>\n<li>The windows<\/li>\n<li>Blinker lights<\/li>\n<li>Mirrors<\/li>\n<li>Tires<\/li>\n<li>The bus&#8217; current reflective tape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5 &#8211; Apply the primer<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mix the primer, catalyst, and lacquer thinner according to the paint&#8217;s instructions (and the instructions of the paint gun, if any).<\/li><li>Make sure you are wearing a respirator.<\/li><li>Spray the primer section by section, giving multiple passes until the section is fully covered.&nbsp; It&#8217;s helpful to have a friend or two standing farther away who can see spots you missed.<\/li><li>Wait until the paint is fully dried to remove the tape and paper.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6 &#8211; Repeat!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>We painted our bus in stages.&nbsp; One full side and back, other full side, front.&nbsp; We did this simply because there wasn&#8217;t enough time in the day to do all the prep work for the whole bus and then prime the whole thing.&nbsp; So we did it in stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>&lt;&lt;
