Does anyone have expierence with this? I dont really care about a completly professional paint job, but i dont wantit to look like complete ****.

Your best bet is to buy a gun and spray it with real automotive paint if you want it to last awhile. You can get a decent finish out of a spraycan but it wont last long out in the sun. Whichever route you go be sure to prep the car properly or neither will stick. When i did the Riv I just scotch-brited the whole car till it was all scuffed up, wiped it down with acetone to clean off all the leftover wax and dust, then wiped it with a tack cloth to remove any lint, and sprayed. I used acheap black paint I got from the local auto body supply shop and a couple of coats of satin clear coat to keep it from getting chalky. All togher without the gun it was under $500. If I had to do it again I would have used an epxoy primer under it to give it something better to stick to and to keep the bodywork from showing through. Good luck.
