@Fujiwaraben has! I'll let him explain.
You need way more cans than you think! It works out pretty expensive in the end, better to get your hands on a spray gun and compressor.
Yeah, lots more. It depends on what finish you're looking for. To get it really smooth and shiny you'll have to do a lot of sanding between coats as the coverage from a can is nowhere near as smooth as a gun. Lots of paint = lots of cans = lots of money.
I was thinking of matte black rattle can instead of vinyl wrap..but if cans cost more than 80£ than i will wrap it up

If you're going for a matt finish, just roller it. It's certainly the cheapest way, and BY FAR the quickest and easiest.

I would also second the roller. I used Rustoleum, which has the added effect of helping prevent rust.
Really curious about the finish product. So..roller..and normal matte paint ( car one ) ?

That's pretty much it. A brush for the nooks and crannies, a roller, and some paint. I'm using military paint on this one, in the past I've used pretty much anything I could get my hands on.
I'm not thinning the paint on this one, as I'm not after a super smooth finish, but you can actually get an amazing finish with a bunch of thin coats.
