Spray Paint question...

[85 Celica GT-S]

Hi, if you have seen in my previous post, i mentioned how i want to spray paint my car. I need your experience on what paint is the best to use. Should I just regular spray paint for cars? How long does that last? I dont want to pay for a full paint job so i may paint most of the car using spray paint. My friend said he sprayed his entire car using store bought spray paint and it looked great (i didnt see his car after he did it) . Would this be a good idea? What brand do you prefer?
Thanks

No don't use spray paint, unless you want a shitty paint job. If your gonna use "spray paint" anything, you should put the car in primer until you can afford a real paint job. Shit get a Maaco cheapy job & it will look better than the spray paint, just make sure you do all the body work/prep work yourself.

Thx for the suggestion. I looked up some paint ad's and i found one that is on sale for (Maaco) for 50%off (regular $669),and total it is $300. The coupon says it is supreme quality and it will go through "value prep, supreme paint service, and U.V sunscreen". Is this a good deal for 300 or should i keep looking?

You can get it for cheaper than $300. Like I posted before - DO NOT let them do the prep / body work. If your looking for quality, Maaco is not the place to go - plan to spend around $1000 for a decent paint job.
