On an original 2 tone paint finish where were the demarcation points? What I mean is, for a white over blue bus, would it have all been painted white then blue applied to the bottom? If so, where did the blue paint stop on the inner face of the doors and door shuts; did it go all the way around/through the bus?
 
yes painting the top above the swage then the bottom colour is the easiest. Just had my original paint bus resprayed. If your doing it yourself remember to fit the doors/hatch when you are masking the swage line or it wont match when you fit them back on.

Ill take some pictures but inside it goes to the lip where the rubber seat mats inserts into, then its white. same on the step and the middle door is colour to where the seem for the floor is welded then its white.

its a bit dark but you get the idea.

Thanks Johnny. What about the doors themselves - do you mask to the edge of the door skin on the inner face of the door? And what colour of the 2 for the engine bay?
 
engine bay is body colour. the doors are pastel from the edge of the outer skin where it wraps around the inner and are masked from the edge where the door skin finishes to the inside. Ill try to take some pics tonight.
