I bet the reason the roller took so long was the hours of sanding you would have to do to make it smooth. The economy paint job can be done will by going to your nearest harbor freight store and getting the cheapest top load paint sprayer they have. If you aren't near one check harborfreight.com.. they are a good store with middle quality but inexpensive tools. (on a side note I highly recommend the 3/4 metric color coded deep socket set, I've actually used them with an impact gun and they have held up amazingly)
After that go to NAPA auto parts and get sealer, primer, paint, clear and reducer. Don't forget to get the plastic additive for painting plastic parts other wise it will peel over time.
Make yourself a decend and extremely clean painting area.
I use homedepot construction plastic to create a paint room out of my car port. Then I vent it with and exhaust fan and an intake fan. With a filter on the intake fan. This keeps dust and general outdoor crap out of your new paint job.

Sand sand sand sand sand.. Rough up your paint a little and then mask mask mask mask.
masking is really tedious on mr2's so make sure to have lots of supplies and patience.

Finally, spray your sealer,(wet sand) primer, do your spot body work,wet sand, tac cloth and get your paint on..


Lastly love your 500 base clear paint job
