Anyone take this challenge up? My car has heavy clear coat damage thanks to being a shit box + fucking Florida rain + fucking Florida sun literally ripped apart my clear coat.
But I don't want to spend what I paid for the car in the first place on a decent paint job from maaco.
Advice ?

Yeah do it.
I´ve never painted a whole car with rattle cans, but I´ve done two cars with a roller(no overspray, yay). Go all out on prep. I can´t over emphasize it.
Some dudes from youtube paint a Skoda with a roller.

It's going to look worse. Just put a brush guard on it and pretend you're in mad max.
Just buy a decent compressor and gravity fed spray gun second hand, do it somewhat decently, then sell the equipment off.
It'll literally be cheaper than doing it with rattle cans and might actually be half way decent if you do the prep.
My friend made his gremlin purple this way. Set up a paint tent in his backyard and everything. Black primer plus many coats. Sanded in between. Took a lot of time and probably cost more money than a spray gun set up. Do not do. You're being memed.
Slap some plasti-dip on it and call it a day.
I mean, any way you slice it, the car is going to look bad. At least go for the least bad you can.
I've done 2 cars rattlecan.
One I was trying to keep it nice, and it did look good
I rattle canned my entire Ramcharger. Looks like shit, but it wasn't hard. Took about twenty cans to fully complete without any patches of thin paint.
Spray paint is always going to look like shit, though. Doesn't matter if you take the panels off and carefully and meticulously hit every spot in short bursts. Spray paint just looks shit.
I painted my fenders and hood with rattle cans, it's not very durable and it oxidizes quickly, you have to buff it often and wax it, but it's not very thick either so you can only buff it so many times before it burns through.
