Someone I know painted his car in 2011 for under £50. That didn't include the two pack etch primer he was given. It lives indoors and does few miles so the paint doesn't have to be tough like an everyday car. The particular paint was chosen on price.

Mine isn't painted at all - so that's for free
I like the idea of brush painting, and from experience painting furniture I've made that's either more time than you think times about ten (with a lot of care and really good light) or liking the "brush painted look" as part of the car's "period charm": that period being "1950s austerity motoring".
There was a recent edition of practical classics with a green Cortina on the front. The guy who restored that has since rattle can painted another car (or two?) to a show standard. The story went that he'd done the interior etc with cans and felt he'd done a better job that the pro had on the outside so for his next project did the whole car himself. I've no idea how much time or how much the materials spent. I'd love them to write it up or have a go on one of their projects. "Rattlecan respray" as a search on YouTube returns some inspiration.
Anyone here any recent rattlecan experience or advice?
