it was paint, under clear, really, REALLY nice job on the actual paint work, and the car was flawless, IDK, its weird/retro, but I give him props for being different and not horribly ugly.

I always wondered what a bumblebee stripe on a 4th gen would look like, glad I just wondered about it and didn't try it. It doesn't match the lines/styling of the car at all.
