Exterior Painting of Motorhome
This is going to generate a lively discussion I imagine. My Class "A" motor home is looking pretty sad. As it's 24 years old, it's not bad, but the paint is faded, scuffed, scratched, etc. I won...

House paint isn't going to cut it. That would be a mess to scrape off later. A cheap paint job could be done with a roller and rustoleum or better yet, thinned and sprayed on. Any paint job looks better the farther you get away from it. How far back do you want to stand?

With good surface preparation (which is key in any case, and quite labor intensive unfortunately), and a little bit of care, you can indeed get a remarkably decent paint job with Rustoleum and a roller. That's probably the least expensive route to go.
I might be tempted to get the generic equivalent at Tractor Supply and use the catalyst they have, which makes for a harder finish (but also prevents storing leftover mixed paint/catalyst). It would presumably be a little more durable that way. It's also an accessible place to get several colors of enamel in gallons at not unreasonable prices. The colors are unsurprisingly mostly things like John Deere Green, so it's an added bonus if you are especially fond of some particular brand of agricultural equipment.
