If you want an honest answer, I think you should have spent the money and done right. It looks like rustoleum spray paint. Im not trying to be disrespectfull but it looks patchy and uneven. The biggest problem with cans of spray paint is you cant lay it on fast enough and wet enough. When painting a car you want the paint to be all one sheet of paint or like I was told by professional " one very big run " . Take a look at my saab I just painted this year, It cost me $400 bucks for the paint, its a single stage metallic and it lays on like glass if you can control the spray , it will retain that glassy look even when dry.

while it doesn't look professional it doesn't look any worse than what you started with so on the up side you got the coloring you wanted.

I watched a couple youtube videos of guys rolling on paint, I can tell you It looks easy but I bet it is harder to do than spraying. You have to have perfect conditions , and the paint has to be reduced perfectly. Im not sure this is something I would attempt lol .

You would be surprised at the conditions like 50*, high humidity, and high temps. They use 100% mineral spirits to reduce the paint so you can adjust accordingly.

For $50 I'd say its just fine! Some wet sanding might even it out some.

That said, I agree that a proper paint job is the way to go.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I wet sanded it today and it didn't seem to look any better, I used 2000 grit. My paint job may not have turned out wonderful but i'm happy with it and that's all that matters. Plus you cant please the whole world, no matter what you do. Thank you again.

Ilike the flat black. Not everyone has the coin for a million dollar paint job.
