I'm looking for some kind of software, where I could take a picture of my bus. And try different colors and strips. I have one now that I tryed. You have to use a paint brush. But the body lines go a way. And all you have is a painted bus with no body lines. Any info will be good
Thanks
Bob

Bob the Sign shop people should have the program if they do decal work and the program is expensive $ 2,500 -3,500 depending on what make and where you get it. i have a fellow bus nut that is a sigh man and he did mine. after you figure out what you want on the bus then you need a over head projector to transfer it to the side of the bus some dak nite. easy for them to do, for me it would have been too expensive to buy what is needed.

If you have an image of the bus you can make the area you want to paint transparent, then use some plain image software that does layers. Put the bus layer on top and then select a new layer below that and paint away. You can try different colors with the fill bucket. Should solve most of your problems rather cheaply.

Download an older copy of "Paint Shop Pro" from any of the
software sites.

You can use that "fill bucket" (paint bucket that fills an area)
with any tolerance level you want to fill an area, yet leave out
areas that don't match exactly with the area you want to fill.

(say what?)

It's easier than I can 'splain.
