Base Coat

So finally making progress after my brothers push on activity, massive confusion on colour choice did not help 

 Colour is such a strange thing it looks like a grey here, but below pure green!!

 White roof only at this point in time, if i have any second thoughts it wont take long to add thje extra pastel white.
 I am aware that I don't think i will ever tire of seeing the underside painted and that for others they will not just see, but also feel green!!!!!
 Look and weep, dont forget this is 2K paint on Hot Zinc finish.
I am also very happy to see some colour inside my bus, its given it more warmth and style some how. She used to be two tone inside and out which was way to busy. Its only a base coat on the inner and outer body shell, so a quick cut back on the visable inner and all of the exterior and its time for a couple of top coats!!!!! I've got half a shed full of painted rolling stock, belly pans, peddles etc. and am keen to get this baby on her feet again, she's not moved for at least four months now.
