Owning a supercar means a lot of things. You have to be thoughtful about where you're going to park when you take it out, keep a battery tender on it when it's not being driven and maintain it even if that means many thousands of dollars for an oil change. What you do not have to do is change anything about the body whatsoever.
We've seen some tasteful modifications to things like the body kit, but an owner rarely has a better paint color or scheme in mind than the manufacturer did. Today we're going to look at 15 of the worst ways you can ruin your supercar with a crap paint job.
15 I Don't Think It Means What You Think It Means
Godzilla sure doesn't look very menacing here. That license plate says Majstek... surely they mean Majestic. This is the furthest thing from Majestic. A peacock with its stunning vibrant feathers is majestic because it's arranged pleasingly.
14 Dude We Can See You
Bro, it's a Lambo. We know, we see it. The lights are bright bro. That chrome is bright too bro. You're a fancy dudebro. We totally know you're worth many dollars and can do whatever you'd like to bro. You have the perfect Lambo for a Disney princess bro. You mad bro?
13 A Van Gough Ruined
BMW couldn't have built a prettier car when they created the i8. The body is so sleek and futuristic that I'm sure we'll be looking back on it decades from now with lust. The way the rear fender and the back of the car have a complete disconnect is amazing and yet this person ruins that line with this wrap.
12 Isolation Is Right
If you look really hard you can see the side and top of this 458 Italia say "Isolation" and I'm pretty sure that's dead-on for this owner. They should be in isolation if this was a choice they actually made for their car and not some hideous prank. Maybe he's out of money and he's advertising on the side of his car for some extra cash. Side hustles can be for everyone.
11 Worthless
I'm all for cool paint jobs and I love aerodynamics but this is deeply unsettling. This car is painted with ultraviolet paint that can only be seen under the type of blacklight that you get at that half-hearted emo store in the mall. What's the point? Perhaps I'm missing the boat but I can't think of how.
10 Art?
Again, art is delightful. Whatever this is though makes me pause. Not because it's inspiring but because the Corvette, to begin with, is art. Can you, however, remove all the art by adding more art? It's like the extra paint has ruined both the car and the utilization of it as a canvas.
9 Money Ran Out
Perhaps the worst application of camo on a car I've ever seen, this Lamborghini owner seems to have run out of money half-way through his project. It's not very shouty and from some angles just seems like someone spilled paint in the worst way. What was the goal? Leave it alone owners! It's a raging bull... you're not making it better!
8 2D Fail
The only thing I could think of was that this person was going for a 2D effect. Honestly, it's so bad at everything it's trying to do that I can't imagine what they had in mind. The color is off-putting. The lines make no sense and the aesthetic value of such a beautiful Lamborghini is lost completely.
7 One Of A Kind, In The Worst Way
The Porsche 911 Turbo is already the daddy of all 911s. Add to this one that it features that slant nose that is so hard to find these days and you have a very special car. Well, this owner decided to declare his pride for the Porsches' origin by emblazoning the German national colors all over this thing. What a terrible way to show pride or appreciation.
6 SLSs Are Hideous Anyway Right?
I mean who wants to see a tribute to what is undoubtedly one of the prettiest cars Mercedes has ever built? Surely this owner just liked the idea of camo on his car, so here we are. I would also prose that this is a pretty terrible camo too. It's disjointed and very strange to my eye. How about you? Tell me in the comments below.
5 Will That Buff Out?
The GT-R is a function over form supercar. Every detail was considered by Nissan before they finalized production. I can assure you that the choice to do this to the outside of this example was NOT something that the owner thought about much less agonized over. What a terrible way to treat Godzilla.
4 Kid Got A Hold Of The Spray Paint
Perhaps the only car here that wasn't intended to look the way it does, this sad Gallardo has been properly ruined. How is that Tavarish hasn't bought this one to repaint it and release it back into the wild? If I could find this one I'd happily take care of that for him. It can't be worth much.
3 You Certainly Don't Want To Be Seen In This
Some camo wraps or paint jobs can be outstanding. We've seen a Lamborghini above that couldn't get it right and now neither has this Bugatti. First of all, it's not about actually hiding the car, and this one looks like it's actively trying to evade all of us. Second, perhaps some brighter colors would do it some favors. It sure would be nice to be noticed in your overpriced Volkswagen.
2 Taxpayer Money
I think it's super cool when police have supercars but I also love other dumb things too. The big problem with this one is that the 355 is hilariously terrible to maintain. So not only is this car going to be expensive just to keep running but when they finally decide to cut the cord and sell it they're going to have a whale of a time with this paint job.
1 Is That A Lambo?
I bet this is the kinda guy who's not sure exactly what most supercars are just by looking. He knows that Ferrari is cool though so he bought one and just to ensure everybody else also knows what it is he painted the prancing horse on the side. It can't get much worse.
