I've wanted to try the $50 paint job for the longest time. Since my husband and I are saving for a house, I didn't want to spend too much money fixing my crappy winter beater. ...and so, I finally got a chance to try the $50 paint job a few weeks ago.
I used Rustoleum paint. No primer. No clear. Just paint. Sprayed on. No rolling. All work done by me. Not much shine to the paint but for the money spent, I'm not complaining. The paint needs more buffing for a better shine. I'm just too damn lazy to do that right now. Overall, it's not too bad for a crazy cheap/ghetto paint job. However, I would NEVER do that to any of my celicas. My celicas deserve much better than that. I've been driving the corolla to work everyday and so far, the paint looks pretty durable. No chips anywhere. What do you guys think? Any personal experiences with this paint? Before:   After:         |

Yeah, all I can say is wow. That's pretty amazing. It looks really nice... Is there some bad orange peel, or drips, or anything? How many coats did you put down? How did you prep the car?
