Invisible Air Tanks

March 12, 2018

Tiny thing, I know… but I had to report it.

Missy uses air for a lot of things – suspension, brakes, opening/closing doors, etc… To keep a supply of compressed air available, she has an air tank in each of her wheel wells. They are not supposed to be invisible but neither are they supposed to stand out.

It would seem that the last time Missy was painted white a good bit of over-spray fell on these air tanks. With that white on them, they do kind of stand out. I decided it was time to fix that.

A little scrubbing to get the muck and grime off, a few seconds with the can of flat black spray paint, and the air tanks are back to hiding as they are supposed to.

    Hi JD. Met you in Deming with Vlad. Turns out we have buses in common too. I have a 1985 Model 10
    Eagle bus.

    That DOES look a lot better. It’s the little things……

      Exactly! Plus, the little things and I tend to get along fairly well! 🙂
