Okay, here we go.
First whole bus gets painted one color, the bottom color.. For the chestnut
brown/sealing wax red folks that's the red. That's paint not dipped.
Then the Roof color and it wraps the window frames and door jams. down to
the belt line. If you get overspray on the inside, then it wasn't done
right. Gustav in the factory in 1959 had four kids at home and a wife with
Hemmeroids. He had
to paint 200 busses a day and der bossen said "get r done."
