In looking at the painting he did a real chunky design and it appears that he hasn't wet sanded or polished the orange peal look. I also think it would look better if he put some white and black(or gold) bands between the colors.
I think it really boils down to, he did the product placement but did not do a good job with the production. I'm not sure he did spray.bike as well as advertiser would have liked.
I can't help but remember that John mentioned at the start of the episode something about how he has a decent setup at home but not everyone does (no kidding, that's what friends and/or money is for!), so he basically hobbled himself with a paint 'booth' setup and used the spray stuff. Lowest common denominator reasoning is not a favorite of mine. Really need it to be Monday so we can see that episode and hopefully that huge plot twist he is on about really pans out.
