Florissant auto paint has some pretty cheap paint. Cheap as in money not as in quality. There a few brands you can choose from Lesonal is pretty decent too if your looking for cheaper.

doesnt have to be decent, but i dont want to rattle can it. i have a spayer, i think it would be cheaper to buy a quart or 2 of paint and it would look a little better too. by looking better i mean the paint would be more even and not streaky...
