Nothing wrong with getting things good enough and spraying it in the driveway. It'll look like a new car. There's plenty of paints out there that are budget friendly. You won't be making your life harder down the road too. Heck with kids and life in general you're doing good that you've got a nice driver. You may never get to "do it right". Paint it and enjoy it.

While those flat/satin colors look cool in magazines, they are a nightmare in real life. Anything that gets stuck to the paint (tar, bird ****, sap, dirt) is gonna be a problem. When you rub it off it creates a glossy spot that just gets worse the more you screw with it.
