It looks like about a $2 paint job.

Most rattle can jobs look absolutely vomit inducing in person but you can usually get high fives from kids on the internet because you can take pictures that make it look good, that doesn’t even make it that far.

worst $20 paint job ever.

If you ever have to do it again I recommend rolling it on vs spraying with rattle cans.

And a nice one of that Lotus Elise Stealth from the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show last week. I think they laid down the base clear center stripe before laying down the matte. Finish literally felt like rubber.
