A blob of bondo on the hood, and one on the hatch lid. That takes care of all the panels someone could sell as parts.
People used to do this (the paint) with their thousand dollar bikes in boston. The bike would look like krep, till you got close enough to realize the crankset was campy...
We still make our bikes look like crap and some even make games out of it
One popular mod is to add a rust affect to some fenders or use real rusted fenders, then the bike can still look decent. Of course, those with fixies need to worry even less.

More possessions, more worries.
