For small parts, it's fine but painting an entire truck with a rattle-can? I'd rather go blind.

You have to apply much more than just getting it up to color or you're going to rub through it the first time you try to wax it.

Consider the expense too. I'd guess you'd need three cans to properly paint a fender.

Another thing is that in order to get the paint on smooth it has to be "wet" so successive passes blend together. I tried to paint the inside of my hood with rattle cans and I can assure you that even if you can justify the expense, get enough paint down so you don't rub through it and your hand doesn't cramp up even with the handle attachment you're never going to get a smooth finish.

If you're really on a budget do it with a roller. There are several resources on line regarding the subject and the results can astound you... but be preapred to spend a LOT of time getting it right.
