Yeah.
It just looks like two finishes.
The clay colour beneath the white, I'd assume to be the etch primer.Lighter colours, especially pinks, often oranges benefit from a white groundcoat.
And if that flip colour is indeed a pearl flip, it needs a black groundcoat in order to have the effect "work".That's not the worst example I've ever seen. Some very high-end brands have multiple finishes on top of one another... new year, new scheme... same bike, new look etc...
Legit steel team bikes that are raced etc quite frequently have paint on paint on paint as we've seen when tackling restoration projects. For similar reasons really... the bike still fits the rider but it needs new colours for new brands and such.

In real life the pink is less than neon. I assumed the gold was everywhere and that the pink was a primer cos I'd read about Gios using a pink primer to make the blue so distinctive, but maybe part of the bike was pink. 3 different primers and the black base coat would seem amazingly dedicated.
