Painting 7681
You don't realise how long it takes to paint a bus unless you have to do it yourself by hand. 7681 was handpainted and it took place over several years- mostly in between other more important jobs. Here are the various stages of her repaint at Sandwich. The NBC logos were hand painted on too but I will get proper ones made up, same with the fleetnames too. There are still some parts of her that need painting, the between decks could do with another coat and the roof still has Stagecoach stripes....
But for now she is tidy and roadworthy and these smaller jobs can be done at leisure.
