paint jobs

Auto body makeovers

The coating of paint on a surface, especially a vehicle.

A car's paint job may be factory original or custom.

The term often implies the work itself: The body shop did a beautiful paint job.

Figuratively, a paint job can be superficial improvement that doesn't address underlying problems: The restructuring was just a paint job.
