ya its better then macco or econo but still what happens if down the road your broke ass gets ahold of a little bit of money now not only are you going to be paying for a good paint job but your going to be paying a good painter to completely strip the car your 100.00 paint job just cost you more. striping a car takes time and time is money

I doubt anyone with a shitty old 240sx will ever want to spend a ton of money on paint... And that's the point. It's not a matter of being a "broke ass". It's that I wanted a fast cheap car, and it needed some fast cheap paint. I don't feel bad when I damage a $100 paint job hitting a cone at 50mph. I just bust open the rustoleum can and touch it up I'd probably be pretty pissed when I scratch up that $3k paint job though.

p.s. I can almost guarantee that my "broke ass" makes significantly more than most people here. I just choose not to waste my money on nice paint for a beater track/fun car. My nice car on the other hand, has nice paint Don't judge me and make try and call me broke. I'm not trying to get into a pissing match here, I'm just saying. You don't know me. Don't talk down to people you don't know.

neither option is going to give you a clean paint job. in pictures and far away it might look ok but nothing is going to look good up close. even on a track car. id rather just take a sander to the whole car and leave it like that before i paid maaco or rolled it on.
