Repainted including the rims.
BNDEP on the other hand is heck care, they just repaint the body of the DMs & not the rims. HAHA. And I'll never understand why they repainted 988B (BN 9) entirely but only repainted the roof & front for 987D (BN 39).

BN usually paints the outside of the DMs and also give red a/c ducts to their interior. They also cover up the TV mobile portion with a red square piece too.
Strangely, 1918Y and 2623R came into Bedok Int yesterday all painted but didnt have the sbs transit logo pasted on the rear. The buses also happen to be parked next to each other too.

Not only them two. 1940G (BN 18), 9316G (BN 17) & 9277K (BN 28) are also part of this latest batch of BNDEP buses repainted without the words at the rear. I looked at 1940G's rear, and it was very visible that they just anyhow heck painted over the previous 'SBS Transit' word at the rear cause the previous outline was still there, man did they used only half a coat of paint or something?
I guess it's their way of distinguishing when did they last repainted a bus, as usual another weird practice by BNDEP. Oh well. -

If im not wrong, 2792K has a square metal piece pasted over at the rear sprayed over with the colours some time ago, looks funny too.
But one thing good is that BN does puts more of its buses with new readers though. If you have noticed, 919B has one side LED blinkers while the other side has the normal orange ones. Haha.

Did you see the LO in AMDEP?
Those await de-reg had their ezlink removed and coinbox remove
Also there is also a paper pasted " Do Not Deploy "
You know there is something wrong when these buses have been missing in service for a long time.

Nope he didn't, he clearly stated that he got the info from busesingapore which means he is trying to make clear that he didn't steal.

really nothing to do.True that. At 1st I thought they would only repaint those Mk4s that are least likely to get ads (like 1940G on 18, 949P 986G on 17), then after that they started to paint those Mk4s on services still with ad demand (1930K on 66, 1934A on 32, 1990L on 30). Then I was thinking that they had too much paint to use, or nothing to do. LOL.
Did I also mention that 1930K got a repainted roof 3 weeks before it got repainted entirely (as in now the body's entirely repainted instead of only the roof) again? TSK.

As I had posted in the Citaro thread as alittle off-topic, there're 5 other Mk4 DMs (which are not any of the Sv 3 permers) parked in BNDEP at Service 3's parking area. The 5 Mk4 DMs are 914P (BN SP), 922R (BN 40), 930S (BN 228), 919B (BN 9), 923M (BN 197) (in order of parking side-by-side). All 5 are repainted in some way or another (either body repainted, or roof+bumpers repainted).
I guess, these DMs are pulled out in case the mechanics in BNDEP mistook them for buses that they are not extended (i.e. 910A, 912U etc). Cause if you do notice, they are in rego sequence order and are extended from the same batch.
910A is still parked in the same laid-up area in BNDEP as I had reported last week, along with 1915E (ex-BN 3).

Those 5 are already extended as far as I know. The ones not extended are 910A & 912U, both de-reg already.
