Wow!! What a great guy Wiley is. It gives you hope that there is some great people in this world that are helpful and would do anything to help other people and I think that’s awesome and you guys deserve that. I’m so glad it worked out.❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an angel from God and a miracle that Mr. Wiley was. There are truly still great people in this world. You guys did a great job as well and all that hard work paid off. Congrats Mela and Don......The bus is gorgeous!!
Hello, my name is Abdullah from the State of Kuwait I accidentally saw your video of how the bus turned into a motorhome, suffering and labor I am very impressed and pleased with your work and the success that has been achieved with your effort and determination. It is a great and mighty work I wish you love, happiness and peace Greetings to you
@@Rehabit8absolutely well done thats a mammoth task looks great. The good thing is if you want it to shine moor scotch bright it mask it of then add moor lacquer somthing you can do in the future or just leave it as it is. Very well done tho its a mammoth job
Such a kind soul Wiley turned out to be. Hopefully it attracts some amazing karma his way. As an absolute novice, I'm sure Wiley's in person demonstration was priceless. The task of a DIY paint job on a 40 foot bus ooked immense at the start of the video & watching the reality of the weather conditions & how that impacted to equipment & yourselves blew my mind. Turned out wonderfully. The donation to a cause that would help veterans like Wiley was well done. This entire situation says so much about all three of you (Wiley /Mela/Don) charecter.
Wiley you are Awersome and just a really nice guy! Help isn't always around and given . U made me know that there are still good if not great ppl still. 🥰🥰🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Damnnnnn, y’all! You survived the weather intact, and your rig looks spectacular! You did it!! Squeeeee!! Wylie - we appreciate your service! Thank you!
As a retired journeyman automotive painter I have to say, while I understand why you opted to paint it yourself it was a gutsy move! I'm really glad it worked out in your favor and the result looks great. I bet you now understand why it's so expensive to have pros do the work though... 😉😉
Way to go you guys got there in the end. Wiley was truly a Painting Angel and it was meant to be that you found him and was blessed with his assistance painting your bus also teaching you how to paint it efficiently along the way. Also I truly love your build it is looking beautiful.🙏🏽👍🏽💜
I’ve watched your build from start to finish… and I couldn’t be more proud, you guys are amazing enjoy the bus you deserve it sending you much ❤️ from uk🇬🇧
One of the best videos I've seen. Great job on the bus. I hope y'all stay friends with Wylie. It's nice to see that there are still great people out there. Shout Out to Wylie!
Don and Mela I am so happy your bus is painted . I am so glad you met Wiley . He was truly a God sent . Now the bus looks brand new. Congratulations your guys on getting the job done .
I love you guys. I'm so impressed with your, "one bite at a time" motto", and your willingness to tackle the unfamiliar to completion. I also have to say that Indiana is a special place. The people here are really decent folk. A shout out to my brothers and sisters who are, who have and who will serve in this Republic's armed forces. Semper Fi!
You guys did a great job, and BIG kudos to Wiley! My man went above and beyond for these folks, what an amazing human being, many blessings and success so his business triumphs!
Awww 🥰 just loved that “THE PAINT ANGEL “ the bud looks fantastic and you both have finally finished .. I can’t wait 😛 til you are on the road .. I look forward to more vlogs… god bless your paint angel 😇 xx
What I like about both of you is that your determination and hard work, whether you have experience or not, you did everything and learn everything from the beginning.
You guys have gone through so much and I would be totally scared to death to approach such a task. You guys are fearless! I am confident that as with all you have learned in this process of building your home you won’t screw this up. God bless
What an honest take on such a challenging project! Why did I cry when wiley came in? The bus looks great, you two. You should be proud of all the hard work you've done on this bus!
If you ever repaint the bus your selfs or paint another vehicle to most important thing to remember is if you start painting horizontally then it’s this procedure for the whole vehicle. You can do some horizontal then vertical because by doing this you will automatically see different depths and layers. The color you also choose is not the easiest for beginners AND spraying outside. Under the these conditions I think you did the best you could.
Looks fabulous! I bought paint for my van and will be a bit more confident after seeing your video. Thank you Way to go Wiley! Need a lot more Wileys around!
I believe that God sent the help you needed. Watching the plastic and tape come off the bus was such a huge change. She really came to her own when the plastic and tape came off. What a huge difference she is beautiful! She may not be perfect but she is beautiful.
I’m so glad to find you! I have a 40 ft bus also and I need to paint it. I need to pick you brain and figure it all out! Know that all you hard work is very appreciated
I just watched your time lapse looking for inspiration for my own camper project and then it auto played this video and I almost switched it but for some reason I chose not to and this video was so inspiring to from you guys being diyers and showing off day to day battles with the weather or the new to painting oops 😅 it just made the video feel so much more genuine and with that kind of energy you guys attracted the blessings of Wiley a every day guy with knowledge and skill and wisdom to use it to help you guys out and probably re boost Dons confidence so shout out to him for being the hay in the needle stack
I love your build . Simply beautiful !! You can see all your hard work even I was tired and I was just watching the video. All the best to y’all and safe travels ❤😊
Wow! It looks really good. I’ve been following you guys from the beginning. And I have to say you guys did an amazing job inside and out! Now your journey begins!!
Fair play to you two. A metallic paint finish is the hardest to do, so hats off to you and that whiley chap..well every paint store needs one!🤭 Great job. The Interior doesn't look too bad either 👋👋👍
Hats off to you both for spraying your bus on your own. For someone that's never done that before I think you done a fantastic good defoe not easy but wow you both did a wicked job
Great transformation and reperposing . Wiley is a man of honour, courage and respect. Donation made to iava, from across the pond. 👍👍👍 Hope you have many happy years on the road.
Very beautiful how much effort you both have put into it. I've enjoyed your work and I only give you much respect for your hardship and see, the results are outstanding. It gives the satisfaction of all that work. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Wow y'all what a blessing he was to you. That is so awesome of him. Y'all are awesome learning how to do all this stuff for your home. The bus looks awesome. Blessings and happy trails.
By FAR, your best video. What a hard task you took on and NAILED IT. Absolutely awesome. My admiration for you both increased 10 fold. Thanks for letting us play along.
I am amazed at the way you stripped the bus down. Then rebuilt the bus. Then redesigned the bus. All the tools you had at your access for the custom wood work that was down. If you do not mind sharing the break down of the cost of the build that would be great for your fans to know so they can realized if they can afford to do this.
Thanks Patricia! We haven't calculated it yet, I guess we passed a point of wanting to know. But one day we will add up all the receipts and make a video about it
Oh you guys did AWESOME. The bus looks Amazing...better than most of the bus paint jobs out there. But Don learns and does a great job. You guys are the best partners...and for your Marriage, that is the best because nothing will break you as long as you're a team. Now hope you have money left to go somewhere
I hope the grey paint has a UV block in it, or in the clear coat applied over the grey... In southern states, grey / silver paints sunburn fairly quickly.
Beautiful!!!! I am so proud of y’all. The tenacity and perseverance demonstrated to get this done. Nothing is like seeing the fruit of your labour come to fruition… I vow to support the awesome work of your hands…. 💙❤️
Man. Where are y'all. I haven't seen a snail like that in a coons age! North East Texas here. And the last time I saw one like that with it's little shell was when I was stationed in West Germany.
Hi, You and Don are doing just fine as I've followed your prep and painting process and from experience when I helped my father paint cars at his body shop in the 70's,Your doing fine! And it's actually a piece of cake!.
Hi mela and Don, I thought of sending you a picture of myself to you two to see what I look like as I'm wearing the t-shirt that I ordered from you guys.
You've got an awesome looking bus, both inside and outside now, just a matter of getting out and enjoy living the dream in it, it's been an absolute pleasure watching you both learning along the way
Ragazzi avete lavorato tanto per il vostro bus, ora avete una bellissima casa. Complimenti ❤️ Un pochino mi dispiace che avete finito i lavori 🤗 ho seguito tutti lavori con passione. Siete davvero bravi 👌👍😍😍
Your so had a very skillful talent,amazing work,smart hard work and brilliant idea,thanks for sharing your video its enjoyable watching you,and i love it.
After you've let the paint cure it'll be time to invite your family and friends out for a bus waxing BBQ/party. You both have been reaching well beyond your skill sets since the beginning with great success and now again with painting. Looks amazing!!! 👍👍🙏
Way to go Wiley! Thank you for your service and thank you for so generously helping these two people realize their dream.
Wow!! What a great guy Wiley is. It gives you hope that there is some great people in this world that are helpful and would do anything to help other people and I think that’s awesome and you guys deserve that. I’m so glad it worked out.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wiley is the type of people in customer service that I really miss. I’m in customer service and treat everyone like Wiley does. Good for you Wiley!
What an angel from God and a miracle that Mr. Wiley was. There are truly still great people in this world. You guys did a great job as well and all that hard work paid off. Congrats Mela and Don......The bus is gorgeous!!
