Please give serious thought to leaving the roof white even if the rest of the RV is black. That will help at least a little with the heating issues.
It certainly is possible to do a black or other color paint job for a lot less money, but the results may well be inferior in appearance and longevity. I've heard of some pretty nice car paint jobs done with Rustoleum and a foam paint roller. Tractor supply sells similar enamel paint in gallons at fairly reasonable prices, and also has a catalyst that can be added in that makes it harder and glossier (and faster drying). I don't know offhand how well it would stick to Filon or other typical RV exterior materials.
As with any paint job, surface preparation is a very large part in the quality of the result!
(Based on my experience with owning black cars, there is very little black road dirt in the United States of America.)
