Seriously, @ $7 per can, for 14 to 30 cans, that's $98 - $210 in rattle can. You've been given all kinds of alternatives that are cheaper and will look better. Choose a real spray, or go the ultra cheap Mopar method.

That is god awful ugly with that paint scheme. Just keep it one color of you are going to do the flat black.

Re: Rattle can spray paint! Get ready to shoot me
If anyone is interested, here's mine done with John Deere Blitz Black. Cost about $25. a gallon. It's been painted now since Sept of 07. Still looks great.

Used about 17 small cans of the color match and 4 big cans of a close color for the hood, hatch, and section behind the t-tops.
