A $50 paint job

Years ago I bought an old Corolla wagon. Took it to my mates house and he said we should give it a new paint job. I didn't have much cash on me and he said it will only cost about $20. His method.
1 litre of house paint
2 foam rollers
2 paint brushes
Being that the car was cheap I didn't really care about the paint job. We thinned the paint a lot so it was very watery. used the paint brushes to slap it on. Then used the foam rollers to finish it. 1 litre of paint gave the car 3 coats. And it looked good.Tool Tips:
Vacuum: Most people don't know that your vacuum has Gag mode. Instead of pushing harder on the head to get a deep clean. Flick the Gag mode switch located near the handle.
Shifter: Like most things as tools get older they can get a little slack in them. Jamming something under the slot of the shifter can help you get a better grip of your nuts.
Hammers: Grinde the tip on a regular basis to ensure you don't get rounded edges. This makes sure you don't slip off when nailing.
