my 20 dollar satin green paintjob
my old paint was chipping and my car needed body work so i decided to do the bodywork and paint it satin green...i used rustolem accents satin rattle car from lowe's,i bought 9 cans but i only ended up using 5 to paint the whole car!...it took about 3 hours including prep work to do,all i did was scuff and spray no wet sanding

Way to go, you just ruined your car! 
Looks like crap 
Why wouldn't you just spend 300 and take it to Maaco? I used to be a painter there and we did really good work for the 300 paintjobs. The $hitbox's would come out better than the nice cars.

well i like it, it turned out just the way i wanted it to,there arent any tiger stripes or off spots in it,and its only temporary...as for maaco lmfao at them there a f'n joke,i used to do body work and paint for a local shop if i wanted to spend the money on base coat and clear and paint it i would have,bottom line is its a beater car and i just wanted to spray it a different coler rather than being like every other jackass with a flat black or gray primered car with some gay *** color guide coat...but your intitled to your opinion hell half the reason i painted it that color is to hear people say you ruined your car thats ugly blah blah blah

Yessir!
I do paint and body work, When someone wants to cheap out on painting like that, I tell them pay me to prep it and we will tow it to Maaco!
If you prep your car properly the paint from there will turn out good!

Re: (xRacerX81)
wow there is alot of haters in paint and body as of late ...WTF ,i honestly HONESTLY think it looks alright ,not the greatest but what do you expect ? its rust paint RUST......PAINT ...... and satin at that ,like ok the bodywork isnt perfect ,but i'm sure its better then it was ,little bit of blocking and a few dings hammered and it would have been mint ,well sorta except the hood fitment is shitty
all in all i sy you did a great job and i love the color
