Step

1. Go to local auto parts store.

2. Buy cheap ass spray paint.

3. Drink 3 beers.

4. Take spray paint to car without masking anything off.

5. You now have a nice parts car!
ENJOY

Do it with a roller. Use thinned out paint. Use lots of masking tape.
Try searching hot rod sites or rat rod sites or maybe thesamba.com or the like for a tutorial and exactly which paint to use.
I say go for it, it;ll look good if you do a good job. And post pics before and after.

I did the roller paint job.

Turned out at about the quality of a maaco job. Cost: $110 maybe?

But, took FOREVER. I sanded so much that week, I couldn't have jerked off if i wanted to.

I would've much rather paid 500 for a maaco job.

Yeah...budget flat black isn't that great.
