Chuck I just want to reiterate: you should totally add some affiliate Amazon links to the descriptions. It’d warm my heart to know that while I’m shelling out the cash I was already gonna spend on this stuff, I’m also adding a few cents into the pocket of the fella who pointed me that way to begin with
have started doing that on my new videos!
EVERYTIME I see one these videos I get anxious to complete mine and get super excited but get depressed because don't have the help/ friends like chuck does to help me. However I'm glad he made these so now I have a template to follow ❤❤❤Bus looks GREAT!
Where are you located? I would help if your close enough. I'm currently searching for my bus.
love that OSHA-approved ladder crab-walking
Chuck, you should be charging extra for these videos. They are truly invaluable.
Oh boy my weekly bus fix
Absolutely nothing like a freshly painted vehicle.
I'm so jealous! My bus needs paint so bad! Part of me fantasies about recruiting some nomad friends at the bus fair and doing a quick and dirty scuff-n-roll job, barn raise style afterward 🙏 back and roof look good, but the rest is 3 colors 🤦🏼♂️
I was just taught a trick by my brother with the reflective tape and stickers. If you take your time and heat your "metal" around and the reflective tape it self for 2-3 minutes it just peels off. I put the heat gun down pulled up a corner and started pulling and it just peeled off glue and all. The reflective had been on there for 18 years, best lesson I have learned in a long time.....patience "heat the metal". All tape was off bus with in 90 minutes. :)
Great tip, thanks. I think my decals are so old they’ll fall to pieces when I pull them, but I’ll try it first anyway!
Chuck. You could have taken the original panel, to the paint store, and had them shoot it on the computer. It will give you THEE EXACT COLOR, you had. AND the formula as well.
I'm professional painter and it's spot-on when they shoot it on the computer. Just saying for next time. ✌🏼♥️🌱
hopefully next time wont be for a long time :) the tricky part was that the computer match for this paint wasnt available in the brand we wanted to use, and we had to add flattening agent to get the match and convert the whole recipie to single stage. couldnt resist getting custom lol. thanks for watching
Pro Tip, if you have access to a hot water heater, you can hook your power washer to that and make a hot water power washer out of a regular orne, or a super hot heated power washer 🦾
I'd love to have that lil toyota camper.
I think you need one of those Bentley winged hood oraments! 😉 She’s a beaut!
i LOVE that idea.... i bet those are million dollars lol
Another awesome, educational, and entertaining video. Thanks, so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the green color, however, I also loved the gray color that went on first. I might have been inclined to stop after that one. But the color you chose is beautiful. Great job.
primer always gets me excited too, lol
Looks awesome nice work
So much information! Thank you! Your bus looks beautiful! Great color selection that Wes and Joe applied expertly! Thank you for this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! they really helped me out!
Good video. I am the sort to do all my own work if possible. Painting was one thing I considered farming out. But I hope I am able to do it myself. I grew up in a junkyard, my father still builds classic and custom cars, but he has always absolutely detested paint work, so I learned how to weld, use a lathe, all sorts of maintenance and repair, but never learned paint.
that is sweet! you can definitely tackle the paint yourself. its not fun work, but the prep aint hard either. best of luck!
Nice one Chuck, Wes and Joe. Good job :)
thank you!
All good, educational, helpful tips, product recommendations and reviews, plus common problem solutions. The info on the air brake electrical could be a game changer for someone working threw that. Thanks, the pros making it happen 💯
Thanks for watching!
Sweet Paint Job! I Like it.
So happy for you Chuck, you’re really talented with the busses! It looks awesome!
i have talented friends :)
@@ChuckCassadyYT I have been blessed with those kind of friends also! It’s been a great life!
I just saw another TH-cam channel The Endless Adventure get their propane tank fixed by Wes. That is really neat how small the School Bus community is.
Hey Pam, it’s good seeing you out there walking. As you know, walking is good for both our physical and mental health. Stretching is key to keeping your body limber. I give my pelvic area more time and attention to stretch out since my left hip is always tight, and it will give me the blues if I don’t stretch. Yes, give yourself grace because you’re on your life journey! Namaste 💕💐🙏🏾
Looks awesome!
Well shucks....I missed the premier! Great video brother.......it was a great hanging out with you and I look forward to our next meetup soonish. It's so cool how well we were able to match the color....looks so good next to your scout!
dude i cant believe its my bus still every time i see it. appreciate your help and friendship big time!
If I didn't have a green Scout that would not have been the color I would have chosen, but yeah...perfect! You're going to get a lot of attention towing the Scout with your home! Great job Wes & Joe (and you with all the prep)!
I think so too!
When you did close up of new lights you could really appreciate the color😊
its funny how the lights make the paint look better
I never even thought about going metallic! Even better idea to match to your tow behind. Al rims are going to make it pop!
i know, im really excited for that day....might be a while :)
Fantastic looking bus... and love the color.
thanks don!
Great video. 👍Thx.
Hi Chuck, great paint job. Wes and Joe did a masterful job on prepping and painting the bus with custom paint. Thanks 🙏 to you Chuck for the prep work. I think you have a one of a kind perfect 🤩 paint job. Looks like a J.I.Joe rig. Really excited about the inside build. Look forward to that video. Thanks 🙏 a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it! there will be a lot of work to be done!
As I said before it looks awesome!
What an incredible job! Its always so much fun to see somebody who does their craft so well do it. You watch Wes and the motion with his hand using that sprayer, that's talent. Truly paint symphony.He too is enjoyment to listen to and watch. Thanks for taking us along on this part of your build.
I know, it’s all muscle memory for him. I love watching an expert do their thing
Absolutely you could do a whole channel around it! Lol
Absolutely you could do a whole channel around it! Lol
Excellent!!!
Looks so good
dude that looks so amazing!
Wes is a true artist!
The bus is gorgeous, love the color!
It really is!
Bye bye yellow! Hello awesome green! Love the timelapse painting and skilled ladder moves! 💚💚
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice!
Your '73 International Scout is looking sweet at half a century young, Chuck, a testament to your love and maintenence. I'm afraid this June I will have to "be square" as my health precludes me from attending anything other than regular visits to the nearby Infusion Center. I definitely look forward to watching the fun via your Channel and Regretlyss's Channel.
thanks for tuning in! i am definitely just the steward of that scout, taking care of it for the next guy, hopefully many many years from now :)
You're welcome.
May you live long and prosper, Chuck.
LOL!!! You are a happy boy!!!!😊
The color turns out pretty good and it`s a nice color
Woohoo!! Thanks for sharing!!
You bet!
That color just makes you feel good! 💚
you know im gonna agree 100% on that
AWESOME JOB MAN!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful Chuck! Love the color
Thank you kindly
Looks awesome.
It is!
Beautiful Job and Color on your bus. Chuck. It looks just like it belongs
in the Great Outdoors. Looking foreword to watching you finish it up.
Keep up the great Job..
MWP Cosby. Tn.
That paint job turned out beautiful! Love the color
I think so too!
You were in my hometown and I didn’t even know it! I love Wichita. Had I known you were in town then I would have invited ya’ out to my amazing church. 😂
Immaculate paint job! 😎👌🏾
They did a great job! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Yes they do
Damn fine paint job!
i know.... almost too nice
Missed the premiere Chuck so I watched it before I went to bed. Great finish on the bus and love the SCOUT to. Have a great week
paul that is really cool of you to make sure you caught my vid. appreciate you sir!
That scout is sweeeeet!
stealing the show!
Beautiful paint job!! Looks like it came right from the factory.
I think so too!
Wow Amazing Job Chuck, great video! I'm almost finished painting mine, wish i saw this info earlier.
Next time! llol jk hopefully there wont be a next time for either of us anytime soon :)
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Chuck - that bus looks great. We both deserve a margarita - k
I followed Wes for years now, his work is impeccable, his talent is amazing and he has a laid-back personality that just seems to be rare in these stressful times. My Hope is that he gets lots of work from this video, he deserves it!
wess is so awesome and he is getting lots of work, which he deserves :)
Dude that satin finish green is 🔥🔥🔥
thank you! yeah dont wanna be toooooo shiny
Looks amazing!! I kinda want a telecaster that colour....
Greta guitar color for sure!
That color is fantastic Chuck. Please tell me you're towing that scout when you get on the road. That will look great.
We will see!
Love love love ❤️🙏🫶🫶
Could you paint before installing windows? Is there a beneficial reason to paint after they are installed?
15:02 Wow! Someone need to fashion a bus to resemble to front end of a 30's Ford Model-A hot rod.
AGREED
Perfect! I wish we had smellovision when you stuck the camera in the Scout! 😂 I’m weird. I know.
Oh it’s a good smell. Grandpas garage big time
Great video Chuck! Very informative. Great color and match. Are you going to trailer the old girl or tow the scout. ‘73: back when metal was thick, tough and men were too. Anyway, looking forward to the rest of the build
Not sure yet! I wish International used better paint lol my scout is a lil bit rusty which is my big hesitation.... but how good would that look?
Chuck, is it really a skoolie if there's no sags in the paint? I don't know a lot of the charm of skoolies is the somewhat amateurish stuff that goes on. All that said it is a really nice paint job and yes you did it right with the seam sealer and primer/sealer. Keep the good stuff coming.
Thanks Chuck I have painted trucks.I am ready for bus now bluebird tc2000.1996
thats a great bus.....Cummins 5.9 12v?!
This was great!! Do you have a link to that rubber attachment you used to clean off the decal residue?? I’m hoping to begin prepping for my paint job this weekend! ☺️
Wow, I love your work, but pea green for your bus color.
It’s almost like we have different tastes! I explained why I chose it in the video. It’s a sentimental color-paint your bus whatever you want
👍🏽
Did they paint the whole roof, or just what they could reach from the ladders? I only ask because it didn’t look like they could reach to the center of the roof. The bus looks great either way.
the roof is getting a membrane system to cover it--you'll see in the video two weeks from this
Chuck, you never told us how long the 500 mile drive was?
Chuck, Does steam cleaning an engine bay include spraying hot water under high pressure? If so, what keeps the water from getting into the nooks and crannies of the engine where it doesn’t belong? It worries me.
Nice Job ! Did you not paint the roof same color? I still see some yellow left?
I didn't, its gonna get a special treatment!
How did you put the metal in the back windows on the bus, door and back end? I don’t see any rivets on that ?
Did you weld the panels in or what ??
Thanks Chuck!!!
Todd
Welded!
Thanks man! Got my roof raised a few weeks ago. All the hat channels welded in and I’ve got the back cap sheet metal on. Getting ready to start on the sides..
Your bus looks great by the way !
You may have mentioned this somewhere in here, but I probably glossed over it, but where did you get your paint? We're almost ready to begin sourcing ours and I'm looking for the best lead.
What brand paint did you use? Have a pic of the can? Where did you order?
I initially didn't use etching primer on galvanneal steel and just primed it with Rust-Oleum farm and implement primer and at the end the masking tape peeled the paint and primer down to bare steel when I removed it, and this happened only on the galvanneal steel parts, not on existing bus' metal, so now I always recommend people put etching primer on galvanneal parts. I don't trust the advertisement that galvanneal steel is ready for painting.
There are only two kinds of paint that will stick-epoxy primer and latex
@@ChuckCassadyYT i re-did it with etching primer made for galvanized steel and didn't have any issues that time.
Do either of you knowledgeable gents have a recommendation on a primer to use for little chipped areas or scratches while waiting on being able to do the full job?
Like something to spray onto the parts that would otherwise rust since they’ll be exposed from now until when we’re able to paint. I’ve been using rustoleum rusty metal primer
Hey chuck! Did you apply seam sealer around your windows or just leave them alone and let the butyl from the window install do the sealing?
-thanks!
Just butyl!
Can you paint in sections or will it look weird? I have a huge bus and it’s outside so I want to do sections in a protected area
Looks OK, but I would have gone full gloss. Satin auto finishes always look amateur regardless of how professional the painter is. Love the Scout, bootiful baby right there.
its all a matter of taste and opinion aint it?
Quick question. How many gallons of paint did you use
So what are you naming it, the Pea Pod, green midi, or what?
What will you do to the very top of your bus? Paint it White?
Sweet. You look like a 5 year old on Christmas morning. Lol
I was! seriously so excited
How did you paint the roof?
Tune in in two weeks. A whole video on it
Did the guys have to do anything special to paint the roof? I didn't see if they sprayed from a ladder or if they actually got up there and sprayed while they were standing on the roof.
Didn’t paint the roof! It’s getting a special coating
Bus color tier list?
I’m not sure what that means
@@ChuckCassadyYT like green buses are A tier, blacked out bus is C tier, stock yellow is F tier. Making tier list is a thing the internet does apperently.
How would you recommend removing interior house paint that was sloppily slapped on a bus? It covers EVERYTHING decals and all 🙄 except all the places it's chipped off of course
that sucks! you'll have to sand it off. You could start with a power washer first and see where that gets you, but its all gotta come off
Good video however , Wes should have know it's not " modeling " it's Mottling . Full definition is ....... Mottling (or clouding, striping, shadowing, bleaching, misting, floating, precipitation, misting etc) is a colour variation type of paint problem due to uneven distribution of metallic flakes. From the definition, it is clear that this kind of problem happens to metallic base coats, especially to silver colours with coarse metallic particles. There are four groups of causes for mottling.. Wes also did the forbidden act of running his bare hands over the surface , should have had latex gloves on to prevent the natural oils from contaminating the surface and actually having the tack rag between his hand and the surface will detected the imperfections much better. Wes does have his spraying pattern down very well just a little off on his prep work. Yes I am very critical when it comes to prep work however I have learned over the years how important these little steps are. Chuck you are by all means the most informative youtubber on youtube hands down . Thank you for what you do .
Sailors on Land... Painting a 6 wheeled boat.. er Bus...
Why is your video in reverse. Everything is opposite. License plate numbers backwards, clock backwards.
i mean...the color for my taste is....ewwwwww.
but hey as long as you like it!
im sure that interior is gonna be killer!!!!!
oh I love this color so much! it really looks great in nature--check out my newest video. thanks for watching!
good work, you showed us all how to paint a bus like a Pro, where do us regular skoolie people get a sponsor let alone find the people to do all that professional work on our skoolies or better yet where do find that extra 10.000 dollars plus, which is what all that is gonna cost us regular bus folk, your video proves that Chuck Cassidy is really just a character developed for youtube and not a "real" person, that $1700 dollars is just for the paint alone which in turn in real life would be $2500 dollars at the body shop, i wonder how much the sealers cost? then there's all the labor involved,...that bodywork done by buddy wes would be another 5 grand, I wonder how many people really helped in prepping that bus, then there's the cost of the shop and the paint booth rentals this is totally unrealistic for 95 percent of real skoolie owners and WAKE UP SKOOLIE OWNERS
This is true, this wouldn't be possible for the "average" person getting into the bus world. But Chuck isn't the average person. Chuck has dedicated nearly a decade of his life to this community. He has studied, researched, built, and networked. I think this is an incredible example of hard word and investing in what you believe in. It's also a great example of how the community supports each other. Spicy meatball, it seems like you're frustrated because you don't seem to be finding the same solutions. I get that. But I think there's a lot to take away from this video. You can find a way to get it done, sure not this exact way, but that's your story to write. I bought my first bus in 2017 after getting evicted and having nothing to my name. That's the beauty of bus life - it is for everyone. It can fit anyone's story. While your frustrations on your project are valid (we've all been there), to attack Chuck's character is a dishonorable thing to do. There's no need to stoop to that level. He's done a lot for this community, including offer his knowledge for free on youtube. And as someone who first only knew him from online, and then had the privilege of meeting him then building alongside him, I can assure you he is a standup guy. I wish you the best on your project, truly.
@@REGRETLYSS1 and look at the first person to stand up for the "Character" that plays chuck cassidy the "mistress" and one of the most unbelievable phony's on youtube the one who "built" along side of him, don't you mean the person who's bus was mostly built by the man as she stood back and watched and pounded the occasional nail metaphorically of course, for b footage of her youtube tripe, the only thing chuck cassidy has done for the skoolie community is put up a true smokescreen and played his manufactured character well enough to fool the masses, I know it's quite unusual to hear someone who's not heaping praise on the man but I speak bluntly and speak for those who may be afraid to speak and as someone who sees through all the bullshit this guy has been spewing for years , you mention stories in your response, did you or chuck ever consider telling the truth once in a while rather than telling a "story" or at the least some made up tales? theres quite a difference between fiction and non fiction
@@spicymeatball2052 well sheesh! You sure seem upset. You know, i forgive you. To feel the need to attack and name call people you've never met in real life, I feel for you. If you ever have the courage to step out from behind the keyboard warrior position of hiding, feel free to share your name, face, and present your work. Now that takes integrity, something chuck has. In fact, i want to give you that opportunity. Because you're a real person, going through real things, and I respect that. Go ahead and email regretlyss@gmail.com. From there we can facetime, and you can say these words to my face, my very real face, in my very real bus. I've made this offer to many internet trolls, and so far 0 have had the balls to do it. Maybe you'll be the first! Still wishing you the best, despite your hate.
There is no “I” in Cassaday, meatball
@@spicymeatball2052 let me know when you find the fiction in my video lol its all real. i feel really special for finally getting the kind of trolls who call me fake--this is a milestone for Chuck Cassady! see you on the next vid?
Sweet mama .... that looks damn nice!
Wes and Joe are da mans!
Congrats Chuck!
thanks! i agree
