ok, well my car needs some body work done and that door and fender i put on that are ever so slightly off along with the whole car to be repainted but i don't have the cash to do that right now. I just want to touch up my front bumper from a ton of knicks, paint my turby skirts and turby spoiler so i can at least put them on.
Anyone know of a good place to get some cheap paint to do so? I really don't wanna go experimenting with 200+ dollar paint my first time painting (btw, i've got a paint gun) especially since it's just going to be painted over whenever i get the whole car painted.

In all honesty, cheap and paintjob/bodywork don't go together well.
You can cheap out but you'll know that you did. Body men work for money as everyone else, the more you pay the more work he/she will do. That is just the way it is IMO.

yeah, well normally i would get the good stuff as well, but I'm planning on getting the whole thing painted like next year so why put on nice paint now when it will just get painted over in a year?
