Im painting my truck gloss army green and was wondering if anyone has any advice on a good cheap brand of spray paint that will look good and last for a few years? Thanks

Rustoleum?
Or if you have a gun get some duplicolor paintshop.
Glossy Army Green is a contradiction.
x2 on the needing something cheap
don't really care how it looks, just something that's strong and maybe dark gray

i just rolled on farm equipment oil based paint.. it actually looks pretty good.. and for $32 a gallon and $15 for the hardner.. it was cheap.. i didnt even use a full gallon... maybe half.. so you could go the quart route....
cheap, durable and if it is meant for tractors to sit outside.. ithink ill be good..

I'd think to save from the hassle of prepping and spraying it myself, if i wanted something cheap that just looked half way decent, i would take it to one of those $199 paint shops.
just me though i guess

no home depots in La La Land? They sell Rustoleum in the quart and gallon. Best bang for the buck, buy a cheap HVLP gun from harbor freight and learn as you go. Total investment about 50.00 15.00 for the gun and 35.00 for a gallon of paint. Mix it your self to get the desired color. Yellow and blue make green......

i used krylon rust tough on mine.came out good.
I know rustoleum and valspar. hmmm
I may pay a shop to do the prep and primer. I've got a rust hole in the roof and some other ugly areas that need love, but I can't do that where I live nor really want to.
