Looks good for a budget, but there wasn't a lot of shine that you get from a pro paint job. But, for $50 you can't beat it!

Not bad for $50, but I'd work a few days of overtime and shoot for the full monty.

I have a friend who is finishing up bodywork on his beetle and getting ready to lay down some paint. Maybe I can talk him into trying this out first

Many years ago, a friend of mine painted his Studebaker Avanti with rattle cans. He scoured the state to get all the same lot number on the paint. Overall, I didn't look good but he felt is was worth it.

There is a place on my way home from work, not a paint shop or anything close, but I routinely see a guy there putting the roller to some rusted car or van and it seems like he is only painting the rusted spots. The strange thing is it always this bad yellow (I like to call it vomit yellow) and it would just be cheaper to go buy some spray paint of a closer color and do it that way.
