The only problem with "English Color" here in San Antonio is that no one speaks 
English there....... ha.

Yep, that's what I would do if you are painting in yourself.  PPG Concept 1, no 
clear coat.  Don't know what they mean by "thinning" it more.  Automotive paint 
has the consistency of water.  The mix on Concept 1 if I remember correctly is 
3:2:1.  That is three parts paint, 2 parts reducer and one part hardner. Use 
the appropriate hardner for the temperature you are shooting in.   It may be 
4:2:1 but I would have to look to be sure.  Plan on color sanding and buffing 
when you finish.

If you have a paint shop paint the bus I would have them use a base coat clear 
coat since they can make it look so much nicer with the clear.--- On Tue,
