    from what i've heard it's hard to get a decent finish with cans because they lose pressure as they go, so the end result can be rough. you could always buy or hire a compressor and spray gun and do it that way.

    Dont do the whole car with cans even primer, the prep is the most important part. Though if you have no experience using a gun I would just pay someone to do it.

    Best to use a spray gun or get someone to do it for you. Spray cans won't give a nice metallic finish which is what you want. Your mates are correct with taking your time with bog and primer etc, as any dints will show up heaps with a metallic finish. But yeah you will get a crap finish from using cans, they always turn out dull.
