You'd need one big ass oven to powder coat a bus.  A car might be doable,
but still - big ass oven.  There's also the problem with powder coat
application - paint is easier to apply in environments where there's mild
air circulation.

But you're right - powder coating is far more durable, and looks way better
also.
