Those directions kinda suck, A. you cant see any of the video clear, B. you have to spend 500 in equipment before you can do half the stuff

Well, you should expect to pay a lot of money to get a good paint gun and setup a makeshift paint booth. Buying the equipment and painting a car isn't easy, or cheap.
