I just got home with the new bus(1968 Prevost Campion), can someone tell me how far up the SS siding goes? Mine's been painted over what I believe is also stainless. Does the stainless steel just go up to the bottom of the windows? How about the front area, just below the windshields - stainless, or not?
thanks

Get out your magnet and ckeck it. Stainless isn't magnetic |

Unless you have a -------------- Stainless magnet !!!!
I had to do that.
Stainless and brass magnets are usually kept beside the 5 gallon buckets of steam. |

I had a stainless magnet once. I accidently spilled
coffee on it. Couldn't get the stain out. Had to toss it. |

Ferritic Stainless Steels, which are part of the 400 series of stainless alloys are magnetic |

I wonder if they use " ferritic stainless steels " on busses. Oh, I forgot to mention.... if the magnet has lost it's magnetism, it might not work; but then, it is no longer called a magnet. |

I guess that's why I was never a magnet. |

I had a non ferritic steel once, but I couldn't get it to follow me. |

Yes Mark, the stainless stops at the bottom of the windows. Prevo also foam sprays insulates the frame above the bays and the roof, or they did it the 80's
