My Bro-in-law is amazing at making stuff look really good for cheap. He painted his '77 F150 in the driveway, using a cheap spray gun and yard sale compressor. He mixed white Tremclad with a little ochre from the local art store (he's an artist) and some hardener. It's a lovely job that closely resembles Wimbledon White. I'm not recommending that colour for you, as much as the philosophy.
