Paint removal the crude way.
Sometimes a bus so visually rough comes our way for re-painting that desperate measures are called for before we even dare send it to the shop. Unpteen layers of flaking crazed coatings need removing before dispatch if there's any chance of a budget re-spray looking anything like decent. This was ex London Country Park Royal bodied Leyland Atlantean, JPL 153K earlier today being 'finished off' in order to meet it's appointment with the spray booth later this afternoon. Here, Mr 'national bus is best!' wields the steam lance removing paint in strips after we'd become bored by two days with scrapers and elbow grease. The surface of our yard was an inch or so greater in elevation above sea level following his exploits.
