Or any car! If you have a beater, you are more likely to get pulled over, which I recall from my younger days. I recently got half my car painted to cover up light rust and heavy sun damage. It costs $2000 but in the era of overpriced used cars, it was worth it to preserve the vehicle, a Toyota Corolla that will probably last another 100K miles. After the car was painted, my self-esteem rose much more than I would've expected!
