Poor plant, it has been spray-painted.
What a shame...it is otherwise a very nice plant. (Whoever came up with idea of 'painting' plants should be spray painted too...JMO !!!)
I don't think anything could be done except wait until it grows many new leaves. In the mean time it will look quite ugly, but if healthy - it will grow out of it.
I would re-pot it into succulent appropriate soil and wait until it sheds all the painted leaves.

(Someone here attempted scraping off the paint, I am not sure how successful all that scraping was.)

There are many threads on this forum with photos of similar plants, here is just few of them:

My son said he thought it was painted and I didn't believe it. Wow, that's nuts. I have the whole plant pot and all sitting in a much larger pot and I have fast draining soil. I was just wondering the name of it so I can look up info on it.

I can't see much of the soil it is in, but from what I can see it looks like peat. Peat is not recommended for succulents. Peat is very hydrophobic (definition from wiki: The hydrophobic effect is the observed tendency of nonpolar substances to aggregate in aqueous solution and exclude water molecules. The word hydrophobic literally means "water-fearing," and it describes the segregation and apparent repulsion between water and nonpolar substances.) and very difficult to re-wet. Succulents need to dry out between watering, so peat may never get moist again. Water will just run around it, out of drainage hole or end up sitting in drainless container.
I think I see a plastic pot very snug in ceramic pot. There won't be any air circulation either, and if you water all excess water will be sitting in that outer container - unless it has appropriate drainage hole.
I am not sure about ID, but it looks similar to pachyveria glauca - hopefully someone else will confirm or correct:

It has been spray painted. The paint chips off of I pick at it. I am going to try to get as much as I can off. I'm going to re pot it in the pot it's sitting in, and that's the soil I bought for it. https://youtu.be/rFnL817QqqM

The video has a trippy intro, but it shows a guy that found a way to get the paint off successfully. Thanks guys. Any additional information would be appreciated. :)

I believe Rina has the correct ID ~ xPachyveria glauca. Yuck, on painted plants! Poor thing!

It does look like a Pachyveria glauca. I scraped a lot off, I could try to get more later. It's hard to scrape the areas where the paint is thin, plus I kept accidentally stabbing the plant. :( My only option is to keep it inside for now. It's too cold and I live in an apartment. I hope it makes it! It might help that the very center doesn't seem to be painted.

I saw this plant a few months ago, I really thought it was its natural color but I'm not sure anymore.

I was shocked to find these at our local nurseries too. It's like they're not even trying to make it look "real" anymore.

Good luck for raising/rescuing yours, it is a very nice plant otherwise

What a disgrace...

Honestly, it's irritating that they sell these and don't tell the buyers what they're getting. Fortunately this one fell into the right hands and your care will help it grow into it's beautiful self. There are many that have glorious patterns naturally such as this in the link. I'm always on the hunt for these.Sempervivum JungleFires

Hablu, your morphing paint to natural plant reminded me of one of my sempervivums.

:]

Hello Rina :)
As always your comment helps a lot !! But I didn't understand very well ...
Do you think a terra-cotta pot is better than a plastic pot?
I'm either going to sound stupid or intelligent but is it because the plastic cannot absorb water like terra-cotta does ? So that means that drainage will be better in terra cotta pots ??

Many ppl prefer terracotta plants - they 'breathe', are heavier (so more steady), being porous they are also better (marginally) for drainage and they look better than plastic. In very humid climate, I believe, they would also be better than plastic.

I have many terracotta pots too, but more plants are in plastic pots - just my choice (I have too many plants...)

The plant in photo you posted is definitely painted too...you can see very center of rosette is started to grow out in it's natural color.

Good luck with scraping the paint off. Personally, I would take off whatever is peeling off thinking that plant is stressed enough being painted and wouldn't want to injure it - that is just my opinion. Actually, I just wouldn't purchase any of these plants but understand that sometimes it is difficult to know what was done to them, especially for ppl without experience growing plants.

Ok, I'll just brush loose chips off with my fingers or a Qtip from now on. I didn't know people painted plants. It was the only one of that kind there.. Now I'm probably going to notice right away if a plant is painted.
