I find this subject an interesting one.

I have a 92 Caravan SE. It is suffering from the Paint peel
syndrome. The shops I asked at.. say yes they will do it but at a
high cost, then maybe you can sue them for the poor original paint. I
decided I would like to try this in my garage at home.. I have all the
tools, and some previous experience. So far so good. front and back
are all done.. I removed all trim, and the rear door key. All is
blanked out. The front has the hood ornament removed and blanked out.

The vehicle still looks like a minivan hey that's what it is... but
"something is missing" my friends say. and not able to figure it out.

Next is the final paint. A pearl light blue instead of the factory
light blue, and a small abstract mural on the side. We shall see how
it goes with the airbrush.

Other change I did was to have my fav muffler shop have at it. Split
exhaust and 2 mufflers and 2 resonators. It is very very quite and
there is a slight improvement in fuel economy.

cheers

Or you could turn it into an "art" car:
