great info here!! I'm starting to look into this kinda thing as well. I'd LOVE to learn how to paint a vehicle and may play with this on my Caprice
I would suggest that you practice on some old body panels and use the cheap Dupli-Color Paint shop paint. Start out with the solid colors and progress thru the metallic and candys.

I love when people screw up
they had it on sale from 349 to to 149 them my buddy talked them down to 89 and just as he was about to buy I told them ill buy one if theyll beat his price and bam 49.99 then I got some rustolem water based primer which ive heard is really good and ib payed 30 $ fpr 2 gallons. Now I just to decide if I wanna dish out money for car paint or just use fire red rustolem. For my first paint job.
Good score on the kit.
I have about 200.00 in paint and supplies in my cab forward paint job. Most of the cost for a paint job (unless you are going to use top of the line paint like HOK) is going to be in supplies like sandpaper, tact rags, guide coat spray, silicon and grease remover etc. You will need this stuff even if using Rust-Oleum. Hours of prep work is what turns out a good paint job. Then the great fun (and nerve racking) of wet sanding and buffing the finished product.
Keep in mind that if you go with a Rust-Oleum paint job then decide later to switch to car based paint all the Rust-Oleum stuff will need to be removed.
If you do decide on Rust-Oleum here is a good site that has info on rolling it on as well as spraying via a paint gun. It tells you how much to thin it as well as what to thin it with.
