I took a part one of the Hot Wheels coaches, and repainted it to match, as much as possible, what my coach paint job will be.
Basically bright white (Ford Oxford White) with silver below the beltline. The Silver will fade up into the white just above the beltline so the beltline will be silver, possibly GM Gunmetal, not sure if I want to go that dark or not.
The Roof will be white bus paint with the reflective additive above the drip rail. this should help with the heat. Seems to work on School buses.
I May use the new chrome mirrors, not sure yet. Haven't decided on chrome or black.
The Ladder and other non-white items on the top or other wise will be painted a titanium or gunmetal grey/silver.
The Hotwheels chrome base gives me an idea to put chrome or brushed stainless rocker panel guards between the wheel wells and along the bottom of the coach at the rear to protect the compartment doors.
If We meet our sales goals this year, I'll be painting in the 1st quarter next year.
