Being a “paint job” holds reference to a half-ass hotrod. Everyone appreciates a hot rod, right? The “paint job” is an individual who has a flashy exterior which appeals to a specific genre, demographic or subject matter audience. Despite this, the “paint job” has the bare minimum under the hood, has a crap suspension and drivetrain, and handles and performs like a shitty ramshackle jalopy. The paint job has just enough holding it together to barely propel it to its next staging area where it can sit idle whilst people “ohh and ahh” at its look and image which implies power and honed superior performance. The paint deliberately cloaks and denies access to assess its powertrain, drivetrain and suspension. The difference between influencers, celebrities, motivational speakers and politicians, (who are all mostly paint jobs) is that the politician is “officially” and “legally” credentialzed. This means the citizens under said political regime are expected to entrust, believe, and submit to their words, actions and beliefs as hierarchical custom. The means to credentialization is often overlooked and shrouded by additional paint job credentials. Paint fades and is cheap heat.
