The question that remains unanswered, is what's the sweet spot of "ugly" where they won't break a good lock, to steal a bike?
The point you are ignoring is that it will not be a crappy bike ,,,
You might fool the meth-heads but they will be deterred by any serious lock ,,,, or two cheap locks, which is what I have been using successfully, The question remains, will your crappy paint fool anyone willing to tackle a decent lock to steal a decent bike?
At this point, test it or go away, I'd say. Too much talk, no data,
