My bus is going in for a paint job soon, it's being done in the OG L87 pearl White, does any one have pics of a bus in that colour so I can see what the finished result will be.

Cheers

Best colour :) It's amazing how different it looks in different lights as well. Kind of goes from a greeny white to a bright white and all shades in between!

Thanks :mrgreen: I was very surprised at how different the colour was compared to the faded original, couldn't stop grinning when I saw it though.

I hope my bus turns out as well as uours :) although its a long way off before they even start mine :-(

I'm sure it will mate, Stuart and Drew know how to turn out a good bus. It's well worth the wait :)

Hey Karl - where you getting it done?
 
Very difficult colour to photograph. Sometimes looks very white, others quite creamey and sometimes a little grey.

makes me want to get the paint sorted out too :mrgreen:
 
So stoked about getting my bus sprayed now due to all the pics that have been posted! :D There's a 4 inch K&L beam to fit and my 2110 to build then I'll be the happiest man in the world :mrgreen:
 
Here's a pic of mine. I believe the paint is original with the exception of the nose. I think the part or maybe the whole nose was replaced at one time. We did the section right below the windshield. Tried to get a paint to match the already sun baked paint, but was't successful as you can see in the pic! LOL
