The coach is a Winnebago Vectra. It was a used 2004 basically sold as is. I have other work that I need to have professionals do. I was wanting to handle this task myself.
I would GUESS that they used a polyurethane paint system, which would have had UV protection in the mix, at the factory.
The problem with painting large vehicles is to apply the clearcoat at the right time after the base coat. Wait too long while you are painting another area and the clear coat just does not adhere properly. Also you are dealing with a clear finish and it is difficult to judge how thick of a coat you have applied.
Automobile manufacturers have solved 99% of the problems by using robots for most all factory paint jobs. RV's are still painted manually and the skill level of those painters is not consistent.
You can get urethane clearcoat paint in the rattlecan and you can also buy a quart or so at a paint supply store and rent a spray rig. You can also buy the paint and find some body shop painter that would like to earn a few bucks, just to apply the paint, leaving you to do the prep work.
