so I doubt that you have done more painting than me but that's not the point. Anyone that thinks base coat and clear coat is the same thing needs an education.
Yep, I agree someone needs an education.
The "coating" used in automotive applications is not the same as what is applied to the (typically) thin fiberglass shells on RV's.
The big "real" busses are probably an exception but the paint and "clear coat" on most of them is NOT THE SAME.
Over the course of your "career", how many RV body panels have you replaced and repainted ??
I've done some RV and boat repair. But that's gel coat without any paint. Repair, spray gel coat, sand and buff. It's actually easier than painting. The newer motor homes use automotive paint.
