Yes, cans at walmart are like $2.30 a can or something(or was at the Festus walmart at the time). I already had all the rest of the supplies or my friend had it, the tape sand paper and such, but that stuff isn't that expensive really. The tape is the most.

No clear was used at all. I just sprayed it out of a rattle can and went on my way. It got the job done for what I built the car to be or eventually be, whcih was supposed to be a track car and i didn't see the point of a nice paint job that would get messed up, but now that Gateway is closed, I just don't care anymore and plan to sell it all.

I currently have the car vinyl wrapped and it worked out well for what it is, but I would just save money and get a decent paint job if I were to do it all over again. But you learn from what you do and what you try. I've tryied many things now, and each worked for the application they were going to be used for.
