  Not bad for a can of spray paint. Not perfect, but not $20,000 either, cost me $350.00 and alot of sweat, did it in that 97 degree heat

Pretty good job for being Spray Bombed.  ;)             
   Just out of curiosity....For a little extra $, did you ever think about taking the gun to it yourself in your garage? There's companies online that'll sell you enough material to paint a car for just a little more than that, and I'm sure you know someone with a gun/compressor or portable HVLP set-up. I just hope that it holds up for you after spending that kind of money.

     Yes I used primer ,,,BUT  I used dark brown at 1st not really knowing what Im doing and when I put the white over it ,,,it wouldnt cover after 4 coats. Realized I should have used white primer then all was good. I used about 18 cans at 27$ a can of olympic white, hey its not a 50 footer,,,,its a 12 footer
