Yeah, was slightly worried about the 'bling' look, I'm thinking about loosing the tints when I replace the window rubbers which should make a difference.

It does show up imperfections on a close inspection, but anything from about a meter away it looks great. Rustoleum gloss black on the bus, matt on the wheels.
Thing is, I'm now thinking its a bit too black

dont rule out matt black it looks really good if its done properly the top of your bus looks in good nik if your just spraying the bottom section it wont look like your trying to hide something even if you are.
