Just wait and do it right. Why spend extra money when it's not needed? Especially if you're going to do a better job on it later

Hell if you really wheel them what difference does it make, the paint gets scraped and scratched up fast anyway lol.

I have done the rustoleum paint jobs where you roll it on in the past on a Monte Carlo SS that was five different colors, and an old international pickup that when I got it was primed in rustoleum. All I wanted was to make them 1 color while I worked on them. Actually turned out decent, and cheap. You can search on it, just Google rustoleum roll on paint job. For 100-150 in paint and supplies it's not bad, for a Jeep that's going to be used might not be a bad way to go as touch ups are easy enough.
With that said, I won't do it again. I have never sprayed high dollar paint but the amount of prep required is the same, probably more honestly then just using automotive paint and spraying it.
I have sprayed several cars, always used summit racings paint and always been happy. From an old xj I took to metal and used their epoxy primer and then a black BC/CC to a 63 valiant of my sisters, used the epoxy, primer and a blue BC/CC and a few other cars. Paint was always consistent, nice clear and all in all a great, inexpensive, decent quality automotive paint that's friendly for the novice. You can buy the paint, depending on SS or BC/CC for 300-500 I would say and it's actually pretty good quality. Has held up for a couple years without any loss in depth or color, shine etc.
