cheap paint job under $100

So I was searching around the net and came across several resources for this. Most of this will be done on my free truck. This will be done with rustoleum acrylic enamel thinned 50% rolled onyes this how its done, lots of wetsanding between coats. There are lots of info on this and a lot of them look real good and are easy to touch up. You have to paint over several days due to thinning of the paint and thin coats but from what Ive read is very durable and cheap. Look it up if your a cheap a$$ like me Most of the info I found is within 172 pages of threads on this http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1555133&page=169 yeah I know its a Honda site. NOT for the SVX
and another more detailed than skimming thru 150+ pages

The mustang looks good in pics, but I am not a believer till I see it with my own eyes.

The more I look around on this I find some good results

I know it sounds disturbing but Im willing to try this on a old truck, its better than the primer and rust that is on it right now. The corvair has updates on how the paint is holding up after 8 months. It is cheaper for supplies but requires more labor which if you are doing it yourself is free.
Hot rod magazine did a 62 falcon this way http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/b.../photo_08.html
Also cars were painted this way back in the beginning of the auto industry.

I'm thinking about doing this on my '81 wagon when the time is right.

The paint on the vw is over 6 years old and still looks good.
