yea 50 bucks is cheap enough to where who cares what it looks like if your car currently looks like mine. you know like different colors... one color like that even with no shine would look 1000 times better than a multicolored car

about 4 cases of krylon. I have done a couple correctly using ppg black and flattening agent (it won't come off on your hands like spray paint does)

its prolly nice for what it is, but im with arch. it cant be that great. you cant make spray paint from a can or rolled on paint look good very often especially on a surface like that. mostly its in his prep, thats why it looks like it does. anyone can make 5,000 dollar paint look like crap compared to someone who knows how to use 100 dollar paint. mostly its the person doing it. but yea im not buying it that it looks all that great in real life.
