yah you dont need a high end spray gun to paint a box. if you just want a matching color to your car, wal-mart and other automotive places have spray cans of car makers matching paint.. be sure you sand very good and smooth or it wont matter what kind of paint you have... here Lowes has spray guns that would be suiable for that type of painting.
