Default First billion dollar paint job

***Warning you might throw up in your mouth***
Billion dollar paint job
I called the number listed and his mom answered the phone but she coudn't answer any questions. I seriously couldnt stop laughing when she said thats how the car looks. I had to hang up because I never really expected someone to answer the phone.

There are a couple of possible scenarios for the paint job costing so much:

-He had to bribe the painter with a billion dollars to execute a potentially career-ending paint job.

-Each and every bit of metalflake on the car was hand laid using tweezers.

-The seller is delusional and thinks that not only is the paint nice, but it is in fact, a work of fine art and should be sold at a price befitting fine art.

Now, I'm only guessing here....

Could we have Steve Wynn put a LAWS rocket through it instead?

I have been trying to find this car for months to take pics of and put on the net for all my fellow folks to see. I actually saw the car in my hometown a few months ago and followed it to try and get some pics but never got any that turned out. Seems the guy live a town over from me. What a piece of work!!


As far as application!! I studied this car for a good 10 minutes. And the only way I can figure it was done was with spray adhesive and glitter. honestly in person it looks like a 3 year olds art project for kindergarten. The glitter was not under any clear, it was on the surface. As if it was just thrown on top of some kind of adhesive. Very far out!! Every sqaure inch was covered with it, even the tires!!
