    I wouldn't do a roll on paint job on my car for the same reason I wouldn't do a rattle can paint job on my house. When you do something, do it right. no excuses!

    a paint job is worth more than the car.

    Then you shouldnt be upgrading it at all then, huh?

    Your statement makes no sense on a car mod board.

    Call me crazy, but I'm going to a friend of mine who works at a body shop. It's going to be a lot more than 50 bucks, but it'll look good.

    no.

    you want to boast, you bring the proof to us. i've already seen your work (lol, excuses - my project cars have always been at least the same color of primer), i have no need to look elsewhere.

    Rule of thumb, if the damage to car exceeds value of car, its considered a loss. Apply the same principles to a "paint job."
    Because then your just "modding" a POS.
