Polished skins or painted smooth skins?
When the American bus manufacturers started building our buses, someone came up with the idea of a heavy gauge, stainless steel skin with ribs, also called flutes, applied every three of four inches. The Europeans, however, always liked a flat skin painted surface. In the past decade, that trend has come to America. I’m partial to the mirror finish polished skin bus myself; nothing is more beautiful than that solid chrome-plated look with detail graphics painted above. This truly designates a highly crafted private bus conversion. However, some of the most beautiful bus conversion motor homes out there are the flat skin, fully painted coaches. Our concept at Walker Coach has been to offer both the painted and highly-polished mirror skins.
