You CAN paint your car with that kind of paint! Here's a picture of me painting a 1989 Chevy Caprice as a faux cop car in back of my garage for the upcoming movie "Eldorado". By the time this project got to this phase, there was no $ left for decent paint, so I bought black and white house paint from the local Wal-Mart. The "trick" was 90 psi line pressure and thinning the heck out of the paint.
Here's the finished car parked in front of the Short Branch Saloon in Crystal, NV with the yellow "Hannah Bird" parked behind. When the movie was over, the beat up Caprice was sold to a young Airman (Air Policeman) at nearby Nellis, AFB.
The house painted car didn't turn out too bad. I'll bet that if one put a coat of clear over it, it would have made an acceptable "driver".

Automotive paint is expensive! It isn't like buying a gallon of house paint from Lowes.
