So wait he sprayed on flat black with a rattle can and then waxed it to even out the paint? Not a chance.

No I'm not sure how all that works out. I thought the rustolieum jobs had something to do with taking the rustolieum paint and thinning it out to extremes and doing coat/wet sand mult. Times. Super labor intensive but inexpensive.

There is no way that the upper picture could turn out like the bottom one unless he had it actually painted.
