Bring dropcloths or plastic. Remember that any cleanup will have to be done with water that YOU provide, or tirpolene/acetone/other scary chemicals if you're using spraybomb. And metal coated with road grime is a tough surface to paint, so be prepared to prime and scrub like crazy to avoid leaving flaked paint on the playa.

Before it was painted, I took my school bus to a festival on the east coast. (Anyone been to Sunshine Daydreams in WV?) After I spent HOURS cleaning every inch of it, I parked it next to the main stage and provided lots of paints and brushes. It was awesome. After a few days, it looked like this:

And then it was my home for a year as I moved west.

~15 of us took it to Burning Man 2005. What an experience.... joining with over a dozen others to become a playa family...
