My bus has only a rough paint job, a bit matt .... done by the guy that built it who admitted it wouldn't be a pro job. Happy as it is for a while but now want to get a decent spray job done.


Problem being, some panels not that straight. Took it to the sprayer last year and they said it could end up looking worse. I thought darker colours would definitely do that but some kind of white may not bd too bad.

So, any recommendations for versions of white? particularly slightly off white ... and pics would be good.

cheers both.it is actually off white at the moment ...... wondered whether different shades made much difference:

Sorry but - Nope.

The more shiny the paint the more the faults will show. It then gets even worse if you use darker colours.
 
To be honest it's quite matt already. Just want to get it looking shinier but without drawing too much attention to any panels that are not as straight as they could be.
 
Are the panels solid? no rot etc if so not much option but to build up layers of filler to level it out... if its really bad a true body shop will be able to straighten it out most don't want to as it won't be a profitable task..... all depends on how deep ya pockets are or look on web to see you may be able get some done yaself :)
