Pretty in Pink: Bugatti Veyron by Bathing Ape
Did you think the Porsche Turbo with the camouflage paint job was strange? Then try this on for size. Japanese streetwear brand Bathing Ape (think Fubu or Marc Ecko from the land of the rising sun) seems to have a knack for taking the most expensive, exclusive high-end automobiles on the market and giving them a "different" paint job.
This repainted Veyron at least remains faithful to Bugatti's two-tone rule: the side panels get a rather unique pink and purple camo job, while the hood and rear panels are in solid Pepto pink. Just as well, 'cause you'll probably need a bottle of Pepto after seeing this, anyway.
Glutton for punishment? There's an almost as revolting image of a camouflaged Rolls Royce Phantom after the jump. Don't think the camouflage will keep it hidden with all that blingin' chrome, though.

It's not like they could have possibly made that thing any more ugly.
Now it's just as ugly but in a different way.

It's an old saying, but it still remains true: money can't buy good taste.

Come on guys, don't stress. It's just a marketing ploy. The companies that do this kind of thing get an incredible amount of FREE exposure all over the world. Including here. So just relax, and if you don't like it, DON'T BUY their products. Vote with your feet.

It's not paint, it's just a vinyl wrap. Crazy that such a relatively cheap modification can get BAPE so much publicity.

"....pink and purple CAMO..."
I give up, where on this planet can ANYTHING be painted pink and purple, and have it be used as a camoflage(sp?)? This would stand out big time at a Mary Kay convention.

Bad, but, if you are going to ruin a car for publicity, ruin a nice one. Are you listening Mark Echo? And it isn’t like either of these cars weren’t designed to blend in, so why not make them stand out more. I love it.
If you don't, buy it used (and im going to bet cheap), respray it, and enjoy.
