Default best turn out for flat black paint job (spray can)

im on a very tight budget, need to pay for supplies to finish my h22 swap. pay some tickets, owe some friends, etc...i bought paitn for my car but ended up selling it cause i needed money so anyways...im thinknig of doing a temporary flat black paint job. ive seen some pretty good flat blk jobs on ht but i got a couple questions

1. wut kind of spray paint do i use for this
2. do i wetsand (with wut grit), shoot the car with paint, flash dry, shoot again, then wetsand or wut are the steps to make it as good as possible until i get a real paint job
3. do i use high temp paint or wut kind. thanks
4. for the time being, if it rains, or gets washed, will the paint fade or anything?
5. does anyone know if they sell flat white?

Just sand with medium grit real good, wash it down, let it dry, then spray in long even sweeping motions.

Ok i know nothin about painting a car. But ukdmcrx, you said sand it first, you mean sand the whole car before you do anything? Then start painting after its cleaned off and dry? I realize that is exactly what you said but i am not sure if you do anything before or what to sand blah blah. Thanks.
