Default Tight on cash....

Hey, Im pretty tight on money right now (school,new apartment) and my ej needs a paint job, it has grey primer spots all over it. Now I know it's been asked to death on here, but I was thinking about just doing it all flat black untill next year or so when money comes a little easier to me. I have gun metal subzeros so I dont think it would look that awful. Im just looking for opinions, the grey primer and teal paint just dont mesh to well.

go for it. wet sand your ride down with 800 grit, mask it off, and use a can with a fan nozzle. Use BBQ paint. It's durable and endures the elements and most come with fan nozzles- best spray pattern for an even finish

I painted a GSR strut bar, and my faded wiper arms black with the BBQ paint, but sorry I don't have any pics, but it turned out really nice.
