Re: Cheap paint jobs
Didja ever see a tractor that shined at all?
Tractors are notorious for faded paint. Personally I think that anyone who would paint ANY vehicle with a paint brush or a roller- deserves what they get. Sometimes they use a roller to repaint an old jeep top, that's a whole nother ball of wax though. In that case you would want the orange peel effect.

Re: Cheap paint jobs
Never did a Jeep, but I've used X-Rust equipment paint on an old Scout and
a couple of pickups with pretty good results - the paint held up well in its' primary role of protecting the metal but I was never one who worried about pretty shines. The bright red I used on the Scout is still about the same color as when I put it on in 1974 - an old rancher out east of town still runs it around the place - if you wipe the dirt/mud off. I also tend to use neutral colors (like white) which are basically immune to fade. They all held up well under the Colorado sun. Never win a show prize, but that $20 a gallon paint was worth the effort for me. Took some experimenting to get it thinned right for my setup.
