Post up your cheap paint jobs!

Well here's my dilema...Want to put the tail stripe on the dart. Sticker $70.. paint ? I have a compressor but no spray gun. should I buy a spray gun and the paint to spray it, or do I rattle can it. If some one could tell my the steps I need to follow for paint it would be helpful. I'm thinking scuff the area paint light wet sand, 2nd coat? wet again? then clear wet? clear again? Any particular brands better? Will rattle hold up? Feel free to post away or pm me, please and thank you! These paint jobs look pretty amazing!
