Nothing makes us cringe more than when we see someone disgrace a beautiful car with a hideous paint job or wrap. There's so much potential beneath the fiasco. It's like if Miranda Kerr started doing her makeup like a clown.
Every once and a while a celebrity slips up and commits the cardinal sin. After all, they can't all be great tastemakers. For every Kanye West there's a Chris Brown; for every Jay-Z, a Justin Bieber. Money can buy the fancy cars, but not the know-how to make them look great—unless, of course, you pay someone with better ideas. We found some of the victims of bad taste to bring you the Celebrity Paint Job/Wrap Fails.

Sylvester Stallone
Vehicle: Ford Mustang GT
Celeb: Sylvester Stallone
This looks like what one of the douchey antagonists in a Fast and Furious film would drive. Then they'd get lapped by Dom or Brian in the race and in style.
John Lennon
Vehicle: Rolls-Royce Phantom V
Celeb: John Lennon
According to reports, a woman in London attacked Lennon's wacky car with an umbrella and shouted, "You swine, how dare you do this to a Rolls-Royce?" Apart from the swine part, we'd have to agree. Tripping acid may lead to some spiritual transformations, but it doesn't create great ideas for paint jobs.

Bieber Fisker
Vehicle: Fisker Karma
Celeb: Justin Bieber
We know he's a star, but does he really need to drive a car that blinds you if you stare at it for too long?

The Game
Vehicle: Ferrari F430
Celeb: The Game
Leather is for a car's interior, not the exterior. Rappers already have a bad habit of sitting on cars. They don't need further temptation.
Snooki
Vehicle: Cadillac EXT
Celeb: Snooki
Snakeskin wrap and hot pink lining. It's the exact ammount of class you'd expect from a Jersey Shore cast member.
Mario Balotelli
Vehicle: Bentley Continental SuperSports
Celeb: Mario Balotelli
Super Mario once revealed a shirt after scoring that read, "Why Always Me?" If he throught the camo would shield him from attention, the irony of his efforts is too great.
Devin Hester
Vehicle: Chevy Caprice
Celeb: Devin Hester
The designers at Louis Vuitton must be kicking themselves for never thinking of using a baby spew green colorway.
Chris Brown 2
Vehicle: Lamborghini Gallardo
Celeb: Chris Brown
One horrendous Gallardo wasn't enough for Breezy. He racks up tacky cars like he does p.r. disasters.
Flo Rida
Vehicle: Bugatti Veyron
Celeb: Flo Rida
Chrome wasn't quite flashy enough. Flo Rida switched things up and had his chrome Buggati Veyron re-wrapped to look like a rolling bar of gold. And not in the gold-that-you-find-in-a-Wonka-bar kind of way.
Nigo
Vehicle: Mercedes-Benz 300SL
Celeb: Nigo
Just because the camo has become a signature of your brand doesn't mean you need to slap it onto a car. Especially when that car is a classic Mercedes-Benz and one of the most beautiful cars ever built.

Ray J
Vehicle: Rolls-Royce Ghost
Celeb: Ray J
Brandy's little brother used this chrome wrap to ensure that nobody else would want sloppy seconds on his Rolls-Royce.
Justin Bieber
Vehicle: Audi R8
Celeb: Justin Bieber
A few people took issue with us criticizing Bieber's new Audi. Are you guys blind? We've had a few weeks to digest the leopard print vinyl wrap and our palms have yet to leave our faces.
Paris Hilton
Vehicle: Bentley Continental GT
Celeb: Paris Hilton
She probably that this was really "hot." In reality it looks like what a prolific Mary Kay saleswoman would drive.

Sergey Brin
Vehicle: Tesla Model S
Celeb: Sergey Brin
Fortunately, this was only an April Fool's Day prank. The staff of Google's "X" division surprised their boss and company co-founder with this pepto Batmobile.
