I recall one at the local dealer when they were new, that thing sat there forever, probably sold at a discount to get it off the lot in the end, seems not too many had the foresight to appreciate the "art car" at that time.

Some people are not a fan of Basquiat. All good.
YVWNT a multi (minimum 3) colored car paint job...
This does not include the color of the wheels and tires...
Bonus if it has Saint Patrick's Day colors on it!

So no challenge for me today?
Bummer.
Or is it the same challenge?
People need to be more succinct when posting a completed challenge.
And have the next challenge ready.
Don’t make us all wait a day.
Especially on a weekend!

If the current challenge is still valid here is my submission.
At least 7 colors plus the white lettering.
If I’ve won this challenge, the next challenge is:
YVWNT an old house covered in vines. Livable or not.

Ok so, It appears that vw_jimbo is not protesting jeffrey8164's submission.
So his challenge stands. Until now.
Up for your consideration, YVWNT an old house covered in vines. Livable or not.
There is a family living in this house. Never seen them, but someone is there.
There blackberry vines in the front yard and the house is blocked from street view.

In the meantime, last weekend I took a drive up to Santa Barbara, and this was awaiting me at the Mission!:

Okay, I think we've given this challenge a fair chance, with no takers (HEATHENS!  )
So let's try another for early next week:
YVW during the total solar eclipse (8 April).
Hints:
- Most points if you are in totality!
- Try to include a watch or other indication of the time when in darkness when you took the pic.
- For those outside totality, credits if you use a pinhole projector and include the crescent in a pic of your VW.
