I followed the guidelines on the Mopar board and it's worked out amazing. Rustoleum is the **** btw. Color is now Sail Blue and I'll have more pics on Saturday once I put the last coat on, wet sand it and polish.
Painting on a budget for those who've never seen it:

Hell yea. I'm doing black accents and probably get some black wheels down the road. I've got some Recaro's from a GTI that are going in once I find some extra time. I do love the color though. The label on the can is a little bit of a darker hue blue but either way, I'm happy with it.

Yep just like he said. I had to use a foam trim brush for some of the nooks and crannies which is a bit of a pain since it doesn't apply like the roller does but it works out, just takes a little bit longer. I'll get some closeups once I finish up but I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out. When I told my best friend that I was using a roller instead of a spray gun, he looked at me like I had a d*ck on my forehead but when he saw it in person he couldn't believe how it turned out.

THAT IS AMAZING!!!!
My car has been down for two and a half years due to me pulling out the pistons to check the bores. Life got too busy and i am getting the car buttoned up tomorrow. Before I tore into it it had already developed some rust on the backend of the car and it is just ugly back there. I have been dreading the thought ($$$$) of bodywork and getting it painted. This makes me feel a lot better seeing the results you had. WOW!!
