My mate used International Brightside Yacht Paint on his VN Wagon

If i was going to do it, I would use the exact same process he did (as described in the thread I linked earlier)

I think you'd struggle to get anything in primer with visible rust through a roadworthy in Queensland. And even if you did you wouldn't last on the road for very long.

You could always try plasti-dipping the whole car!

Spray wrap is same as plasti dip http://www.spraywrap.com.au/ . From $65 for 4 liters, less than $300 to do the whole car.

When your ready to do it properly just peel it off and your good to go.

Yep. People assume it was done with a spay gun.
most dont believe him when he tells them it was a $300 roller job.

I've seen plenty of "cheap" spray jobs that dont even come close.
