one big project to paint

any of you guys ever jump on anything this big?

by spring i should have the new skins on and be ready for some paint!
it's 33ft long & 7ft wide & 72 inches from bottom to the top drip rail..
any ideals on how much primer & paint i'll need & what type? not sure if the clear coats would hold up on the front of one of these...

pic 3 is super nice & a lot of time was taken
i'm thinking more on the line of pic 4 and the same colors..

LOL HRP sure thing, wheres a costing shop with a oven that big..BOY don't know i'll need 2 visa cards.. hell even if they could coat something this big i wouldn't do it!
A Buddy of mine has a shop and i get good prices BUT i haven't had any luck with the coatings in the sun! fade in less then a year! they offered to recoat the stuff, what's the point! I'll just paint it!
