Gloss Black shows the most imperfections while semi gloss white will hide most imperfections.

Until recently, I was technical sales rep for Rustoleum products and my professional career has been mostly in the collsion supplies industry selling several different paint brands. Normally I would reccomend a 2 part urethane paint that requires a spray booth and the proper equipment INCLUDING safety equipment but in your case, wanting a "30 footer" I'd strongly reccomend the Sierra Metalmax.

Get some of the Sierra primer too. Excellent stuff!!

Thanks for that info. I thought I’ve read that the satin paint jobs show more bodywork imperfections and that you can’t just buff them out to fix issues. In that regard, people were recommending a gloss finish that can be worked after spraying/drying to fix some of the issues (orange peel, bugs etc). I would prefer a satin finish though.

As for the paint you recommended, looks like the white would work, but I’m looking for a sea foam type green or a mint green as the main color.
