Default rattle can paint

Hey guys i want to repaint my car and i have access to a booth. I have seen some posting of people who use rattle can paint to paint their car and it seems like it turn out ok. Is that just BS or its possible?

Plz dont. just save yourself from all the you will hear and just crappy outcome of your car.

If nothing else get a cheap *** paint job at a fact-o-bake or something.

Edit: Or do like i did and buy a paint gun and get teh learnin.

yeah dont do it man, only time ill use a rattle can is to check for high/low spots and prime. Use a spray gun and buy paint at your local store.

I seen it come out some what descent but it was done to my friends beater and the guy that did it has 15+ years experience painting ... but if you don't know what your doing defiantly don't do it because it will just cost you more in the long run because you'll probably end up wanting it redone professionally

in my opinion, you would be better off either buying the paint and trying yourself, or finding someone local who works at a shop and could do it on the side. in the end, you will be much happier with the outcome.
