I guess he was thinking he needed to screw up a decent car with a cheap paint job, it would take another $5K to undo that mess.

Is this a Mattel or Hotwheels car

Or is this in Peru, where you just dip a broom in a can of housepaint and attack the car broadside on with it?

Reminds me of the Charlie Brown/Peanuts cartoon, where the one character is waiting for "the great pumpkin". I think we just found it.

Tell him its worth $1k because you need to spend $5k to fix the so called "paint" job he did.

I think he's going to have that car for a long time. I hope he likes the color. Well at least you could find it in a crowded parking lot. Just wouldn't want anyone to see me getting into it.

It doesn't look too bad. I once painted an 88 Topaz two-tone black and Acura Imora Orange looked pretty sharp, because the tricoat pearl midcoat distracted you from the fact that it was ORANGE. It was known around town as the A&W car
If I could be certain it was a matallic paint job, I'd buy it, but again...NOT for 6500$...loser...
