Some tips I have learned over the years...If you use wal-mart spray bomb at 99 cent each, you will save another 30 buck! they cover just as well as Krylon, no italian olive though, just black, white, red, green and blue...

I bought a Spray-It diaphram air pump with hose and spray gun from Craigslist for $15, I use no name brand "exterior" house paint, watered down to spraying consistency to paint a 69 ford custom (large surface areas are difficult to paint with spray bomb), after 10 years, the paint still looks good. I think its because this no name brand paint has a 15 years warranty...

I have also painted a small car with paint roller, just buy a small bottle of "Flow" to mix into the glossy paint and this will cause the paint to flow into a smooth shinny surface. The flow liquid actually delay the drying time of the paint.

I have actually also painted a car with a paint roller. (the black firebird/camaro in this picture) It turned out awesome until I left it outside for a year and neglected it in which case random stuff like flower petals and pollen stuck to it like a magnet and ruined the paint.
