    You would be mad imo. Also try to get proper filler/primer as alot of the cans of primer are crap. Why not invest in a compressor & gun

    Don't bother - unless you want the car to look crap. You cannot get the coverage required to do a full car, I've tried.

    Spray cans will cost a fortune for a whole car IM sure. You should really look to beg borrow or steel the proper equipment to do it with.
