All depends on the manufacturerHouse of kolor probably $500. Implement paint from the local farm service store $80. It varies WIDELY
Times a bajillion, there are so many grades of paint out there you could pay a couple hundred bucks to well over a grand
also red is crazy money over other colors.
look at some industrial paints with uv protection. single stage and 2-3 coats go on good n thick.
buddy does this a lot. and his famialy's dozer on the farm is holding up great after years of service.
and he is doing a 65 vw bug for a guy now with it . looks great . i will find out exacts tusday and let ya know what to ask for.

I agree, red is crazy.

"real" paint will be a catalyzed urethane. The lowest priced brands I've seen are the Summit racing brand (about $100/gallon) and Kirker (about $75 for 3/4 gallon). You can spray on Rustoleum if it must be super cheap, but good luck keeping bugs and dirt out of the paint for a few days at a time as each coat dries.
If you've lowered your standards enough to use Rustoleum to paint your truck (like me) then a few defects in the paint is the least of your worries.
On that note, it was dry to the touch in like 6 hours. But being a non catalyzed paint it will always be kinda soft. We shall see what the trees do to it when I go wheeling after it's finished.

keep in mind, that's not including hardener...
most of the manny's have a budget line, Omni, etc...
for the future record.... anyone who has used, or is considering a non catalyzed enamel such as rusto, you are pretty committed to it from that point on... if you ever go to use rea, catalyzedl products over it, you'll have a nightmare unless you strip that off first..

Im no expert, but overall I have had really good luck with the Summit Paint. Ive got about 150.00 in a gallon of paint, activator, reducer, fish eye eliminator and some tack cloths from them. Just getting ready to paint my Jimmy again.
