I was in the process of painting Homer flat black and it was actually looking pretty good . . . then my grandson "reminded" me that I had promiised that if ever painted it, I would paint like the Super Bus in the old VW ad (I've got the ad posted in the gallery). So, that's why Homer got painted like the Super Bus . . . Now, Homer isn't just an old beat up, rusty bus . . . He's Homer the Super Bus! I say go for it!!!
