I wouldnt recomend prison time in this case. The car should be re-sprayed at the owners cost, and let that be an end to it.
I do think there is a problem with displaying pornographic material in public - this person may not have had it painted this way because of some thrill they get out of children seeing it, I am guessing they just did it because they are an idiot.
If a school teacher was showing kids at elementary school a copy of Playboy, this would be considered a serious crime and that teacher would be classified as a sex offender.
Intent, and the end product, do need to be considered.
But yes, in my opinion the state does have the right to prevent people from publically displaying images of naked people, especially but not only, displaying them to children.
