Looked pretty cool, actually. Certainly better than it looked before the camo job.

Anymore it’s not unusual to see a lifted Jeep, Blazer or Bronco with a rattle can camo or tiger/zebra stripe paint job. But back before it was a thing a buddy bought an old ’67 Caddy, similar deal got it for super cheap, that badly needed a paint job so he had a paint party. He bought the beer, paint, some low grit sand paper, and in a day we masked off the chrome/trim, scuffed up the old paint with the sand paper then everyone grabbed a can of high gloss black rattle can and we painted it. Actually turned out looking pretty damn good, as long as you ignored the two flies that got stuck in the wet paint, especially with the dark limo window tint we could get away with back in the ‘80’s. Kinda miss that old POS, just not the gas mileage.
