The factory patchwork was the harlequin:

I like art cars.  Once I painted chartreuse flames on a marroon diesel 
Rabbit and 200 bees and some dandelions on a beige Omni with a VW 
engine.  The kids at the cancer ward where the artsy owner worked really 
liked the miniature golf hole in the hatch.  The diesel died a horrible 
runaway death because the owner was an artfag.  We got him a rusty MkII 
and he killed that by driving it without oil (instead of towing) on its 
way to me to do a head gasket.  I mean it blew a rod after the work.

Those were the days.
