That Burstner has just gone down in value.

At least no one’s going to nick it…..

 

[PaulW2]

Does the Burstner guy like it? If not, he now has the opportunity to ask them to redo it.

 

[Just smiffy]

Your not inspiring me with the words “rough paintwork" Tam…

I wouldn't think it's worth the cost of the paint job.
But we don't know what it was like before.

Looks like rattle can quality

 

[Northernraider]

That could be a dust magnet if you can’t get all the adhesive off

Yes I know. Getting there just slow process

He's Italian I think . Haven't spoke to him

Maybe it's very fashionable. Possibly best to keep your own counsel

 

[Northernraider]

Getting there.

Glue is a nightmare though

The old bus is painted still to be polished

The Concorde is having the black vinyl removed.... looks like that's a sod of a job too

It doesn't help that my camper needs washed it's absolutely filthy. But I reckon once glue is removed it would be hard to tell there was a sticker along there.

Like the bus

The blue looks suspiciously like the other one, was it a job lot?

I'm using some alcohol at the minute but I need something stronger. Panel wipe would be good but not sure if they have any . Thinners is too strong

When I got rear panel redone I used one of these

Might be worth an ask, it wont be the first time its been done there.

Yes I've used toffee wheels myself in the past , not something they use here though hence the state of thst Concorde.

At least the paint might adhere
Could try nail varnish remover…. Just ask a wee wumin….. if you’ve none

Love that old bus.

 

[Freo]

It looks great, I agree.
For use as a camper, I’ll bet the overall vehicle insulation is crap, though.

 

[CazPaul]

That’s quite an expensive Concorde there I hope they don’t ruin it.

I think the old bus is also pretty expensive

 

[Yamas]

Dunno ... I had a chat on the phone with him it went OK and he said he'll be back in touch to do a videocall as obviously I can't attend an interview.

I'm not sure at the minute if it's the best job for me anyway as its a lot of hours but will see.

It does seem that most are a lot of hours during the summer as that's their busiest time, but some also have split shifts. I'm still on the lookout for you maybe more a beach site rather than countryside so the dogs can have a good run of lead when your not working Anyway good luck with the job hunt, and everything else Tam

As someone on here would say. Oh dear.

It might be a way to stop being stolen!

It might be a way to stop being stolen!

Just to add to the mad paint scheme there's now someone painting writing on the back in bright yellow

Cheaper than some of the well known security suppliers often mentioned on here!

That's probably a good idea. It's not a strange two-tone job, it's a Merry Pranksters bus

 

[Barriesimpson]

God that'll be an interesting conversation lol. It took one boy nearly 15 minutes and several attempts on Google translate just to ask me if I had any wd40 yesterday.

You should draw pictures instead. I always say that if 2 people want to communicate to each other, they will.

I would suggest that the worst thing about the respray is the colour choices.

To be fair looking under the paint that burstner was very badly dented and scored .. I never saw it before it was painted but you can see all the marks under the paint . There's also a bit delamination at one point. It wasn't in great condition that's for sure . I'm not keen on the paint style personally I'd have had it all one colour but each to their own.




In removing this stripe I've discovered mine has had paintwork too. The garage door and the hab door have been painted at somepoint and that stripe on thst side has possibly been replaced too hence how it was nice and shiny and the other side is all discoloured. I did wonder how the Flair graphic was missing on the garage door . Now I know.

I've got the glue off that side now too but obviously the alcohol has also taken off the polish so it will need all polished and waxed again to look right. I may have to put a pinstripe along each side where that graphic stopped as there's a paint line on garage door , hab door and gas locker.

As I said on a post the other day you can ALWAYS tell when a vehicle has had paintwork no matter how good the painter was , especially if you know how they hide it or blend it in

Yes the cab looks nice in the blue ...but they've Painter the alde Vent and window frames etc all the same colours there's no contrast.

But if they like it that's all that matters
