Bastards, now it will get a MkII Livery with the white panel at the rear and look all wrong. I will hunt them down and slap them till they cry because of this.

Looks very fresh, clean and new. However you can still see on some of the black parts of the windows where it was done over.

Mr Renault Rider, i have something to tell you, something that may shock and discredit you, and that thing is as follows

ITS NOT A REPAINT AT ALL

i got close enough to the right hand side of 754 today to see that they have simply "cleaned" the bus. If you look at the white panel behind the last window you can clearly see blue scrubbing marks, and the blue paint is clearly not fresh - there are chipped areas and clear residue outlines from where the advert stickers were.

Yeah, damn, thanks for that confirmation.

It definately would have bene cheaper and quicker to clean it, so that makes sense, yeah.....

You've only got the RHS of 754's unauthorised paint scheme here, the LHS was completely different. I've got a few pics of both sides taken in the Belco workshops (unfortunately from my phone camera) that I'd be happy to post up except I'm not sure how to do that.

Do I put the photos up on the web somewhere and then provide the URL in the post text?

Title: Re: 754 Vandalised
Post by: Busnerd on July 14, 2008, 01:29:47 PM
Well if you have the photos on your computer you can just go 'reply' and then click the additional options tab and upload the photos to your post.

If they arent on the computer just mms them to your email address.

It's a better paint job than ACTION would ever do!

But seriously, these young punks went to a hell of a lot of work to do that, as well as using a lot of paint. Waste of space, they are.

So, how'd they get it all off? Send it through the bus wash a few times? ha ha.

It will teach ACTION To never leave anything in NSW (Or close to it) ever again. Looks colourful, maybe ACTION employed them to design the reconciliation liveries?

Best looking renault I've ever seen  ;D

Although it shows pretty poorly on ACTION's fleet utilisation that a bus can sit around long enough for a piece like that to be painted on it

They would of removed it using a cocktail of chemicals, it would of basically washed off

Ha ha, yeah.

You do have a point, it shouldn't have even been out there in the first place, and to complete such a job like that, would have taken careful planning and consideration, a lengthy process, particularly for the calibre of people that would have undertaken this job.
