No. How would you do it? I wouldn't want to weld every little hole,
especially if it meant taking a tailgate glass out.

Get a cheap body shop to do a 'blow over' of the panels, and you'll
get a better result than you ever will from an aerosol, especially if
it's metallic.

I wouldn't be so sure, if you had implied paying the going rate for the
paint work you might have a point, 'cheap' means something has been skimped

OK, 'inexpensive'...

on some place when talking about paint work, 75 percent of the cost is
nothing but labour - go figure...

Correct, do the prep yourself and get them to just spray it. What
would you recommend in the way of prep?
