Merlin,
Glad to know Xtreme did your coach also, yes, they are a very 1st class operation and Rance in the fiberglass shop is considered they very best for knowing how fiberglass works, is laid etc. by everyone who does fiberglass, has done many changes to my body where molds are not available, they look at least as good as factory moldings.
If you go to their website, you can find my coach "Metzger" listed.

     I did "Bus-Kote".  The paint on my roof was in pretty good shape but there were open places at the seams and some cracks around rivet heads.  Cleaning up the roof to seal it up to prevent water leaks left it in pretty shabby shape.  So, I needed a good roof paint.  I bought the primer that goes with Bus-Kote and - in theory -enough of the paint coat to do my roof and also the sealer.  Went easy, with the usual stuff of the time and elbow grease before the first bit of wet stuff goes on.  After I was finished, the guy who parks an MCI next to mine in the storage lot asked if he could buy the left over.  I told him "sure" and he had enough to do all of his roof.  I am pretty sure that the paint makes a big difference in the heat in the bus.
     Only problem is that I've seen a bit of "white powder" on the outside of the windows in the past few weeks (the paint went on about a year ago).  I'm not sure if it's a little thing that will happen for a bit and then never happen again or if it's going to turn into a real problem.
