The other day while doing my daily commute on the highway I saw what I think may be the ugliest mustang that I have ever seen. It would have been a great looking car if not for the awful „custom“ paint job on it. It was about the color of green beans after been processed through a baby and had brown pin-stripes on it with a wide racing stripe of the same color going the length of the car from hood to trunk. How could ANYONE do this to such a beautiful car?

Just reading this thread makes my stomach a bit quesy. It is unbelievable what some people see as attractive can be so repulsive to others. So many „wrong“ colors out there right now and they just seem to keep coming.

I've definitely seen my

I've definitely seen my share of horrid paint jobs that someone thought was great. Sometimes I think maybe they were under the influence at the time, or maybe there was a sale on that color if they did it themselves, or maybe….I dunno. The bottom line is you can't buy taste.

I've seen some terrible things done to cars all told. The worst was a Lancer Evo that was bright pink-inside AND out. The car seats had bright pink covers on them, the steering wheel had a fluffy pink cover. The dash was painted bright pink.

It was so pink it hurt. Sometimes people just have no taste.

What some people like,

What some people like, others will not. I have seen paints like this on all types of cars so its not just Mustangs being tortured this way. Sometimes its funny though when you see someone trying to sport the car and everyone who driver passes is gawking at it, but not in the good way.

I, too, have seen hideous paint jobs and colors on what would have otherwise been beautiful cars. I guess some people just have too much time on their hands. If I had seen that bean green Mustang, I would just have had the urge to repaint it! Come to think of it, I especially don't like the colors pastel green, or ordinary dark brown, on any car!

I don't like pastel green

I don't like pastel green but I do like a lime green on a car, lol. My husband and son tell me all the time that I have no taste- not that I would ever paint a car myself.

I saw a PT Cruiser the

I saw a PT Cruiser the other day that had really been overdone. It was a lime green color and they had put all different colors of flower decals all over it. The flowers reminded me of something I'd seen on some record album from the 60's. They were kind of „hippie era“ flowers I suppose. It might have been cute, but there were just way too many of those flowers splashed all over the car.

It's really quite funny

It's really quite funny but, as soon as I read lime green and flowers, the first thing I thought was flashback to the 60's. I was in grade school then but I still can remember the „hippie“ vans and VW bugs

It might have been cute on another car, but on a gangster car?! Sorry but I'll never get past that image, so the idea of it green and flowery-well the two are kind of mutually exclusive you know?
