  Its nt always bn ony repaint the rims and front.Some of them the interior also repainted.Floor,side etc..
  
  And today ony i noticed tat 603L's ceiling looks a bit diff wit some patterns.Looks quite new.It might hav been one of the few buses which may have got tat during the refurbishment..

  one thing BN could do better is to give the whole roof a new coat of paint (not just the affected areas) when they remove & seal up the ventilation parts..

  they must have thought, who could see them but they never thought we're residing in a high floor blk..

  Yea.Some bn MK3s i saw,the area where the roof ventilation was removed,is a big square patch.They nvr paint over.Then the rest of the area all repainted.I also dunno wat they doing.suka suka paint lik u say.Haha.joker sia..
  
  Last year i saw 687U which also ventilation removed from my house,the whole roof painted solid sia.I cld see the paint so smooth and shining in the sun.Good effort by HGDEP :)
