BTW - the $50 paint job is not economical in any way, and doesn't work out to actually costing less than $100 for many people. Rustoleum isn't car paint, either. And don't use latex, please. LOL
not if your car has NO insulation... I can burn the **** out of my hand by touching the inside of the roof of my car in the summer

and, yes, I know it can total upwards of $100 (or more)... but sure beats $600-$1000 for a shop job
