Seen a couple threads on HT about the 50$ rustoleum paint job. So I decided to give it a shot on my car. Instead I used a gun instead of doing the roll on method since its more time consuming and I didn't have much time. ( I used gloss white btw )

As for holding up, mine personally has held up without ANY fading at all, I even pressure wash it, buff it, wax it, I don't have a garage, etc. The paint is STRONG.

Technically it only took 16$. Mineral spirits, a pint of rusto, and the painters tape. Since I didn't buy those high density rollers it cut a whole lot out of the price. The paint is real glossy. Right now the car still smells like house paint lol but the smell will go away. Looks way better than what it use to be :]

HVLP Husky gun from home depot. Borrowed it from a buddy, the gun I was planning to use was from harbor freight but it wasn't HVLP.
