When I was in college, I remember seeing some hot street cars
with this type of paint job. The changes in temperature and
normal use destroyed the paint. It became full of little cracks
and some big chucks even fell off. I'm sure some are better than
others, but I would not want to try it on a car that was driven.

That ain't a scrap pile, that is my car!
See it moves!
