Hi Matt,
I wasn't saying that Rustoleum would be your only route if you had a limited painting budget...it is possible to use a primer/sealer product over the paint you've got and then shoot something over that. It's just that I have no experience costing that out. Surely someone else here has done it and can let you know. None of the stuff coming out of an auto paint shop is cheap though.
If you were to go that route, then the paint price becomes a problem once again, though.
Are you stuck on a particular color? The paint shop near me actually gives paint away when it's rejected by a customer (usually because the color wasn't mixed correctly). It's easier for them to give it away rather than pay to have it disposed of (but I'm in California, and things are probably different here than Texas, but who knows?)
Might be worth going to a couple of local auto paint stores and asking them if they give rejected paint away or sell it for a huge discount.
