What is your cost with both these added in?
The cost of adding paint for either PMF or fiberglass should be similar. I used Monstaliner, but it's expensive. I could have used two quarts of enamel or about $50.
And yes, that's only the exterior. I build with wood... so it's already finished inside.

Well, actually not and may be just where the cost difference applies. I gave you my costs to PMF, finish painted, inside and out, because it's part of the system.
Whether TB2 or primer is used the waterproofing is in the final top-coat. So to be fair, by the numbers I showed you, My cost on exterior alone would be $92.50.
That's with high quality paint at 'my pricing'. Now depending how you source your canvas or paint, that number could be easily reduced 75%-50%.
That puts me at half your cost. Is sourcing cheaper paint worth it.. I don't know, yet that could be much less than your costs. I didn't and went for quality. I want it to last!
Then it comes to " I build with wood... so it's already finished inside". Well, something happens there. More of the resin stock you have? This is important if we wish to compare for the OP.
