No, I didn't, but imo, that's a great way to ruin a beautiful car.

It looks like it was 3 stage Candy paint at one point. That's the hardest paint to take care of & Most expensive. I can see by the way it looks like the base coat is coming through. Probably looked better when it was first done.. Or the pic Quality just put a cloud on the car lol..

I'd have to see more pics or see it in person...to me it almost looks like fairway green, but with really bad lighting.


Either way I have seen MUCH MUCH worse.

In my opinion it isn't as bad as it looks, I would be willing to say it is one solid green, It is just that the picture is enlarged from a smaller one and it went all to hell and pixelated.

Thats exactly what it looks like. I was driving by and had to do a double take. So i turned around and took a pic with my phone. It is for sale
It looks like it was following to close to a paint truck and 10 different shades of green paint cans fell of and splattered all over the car.
