Need help new Congo puffer.

I’m new to this. Apologize for my ignorance.

Bought this puffer from Predatory Fins 5 days ago (Tuesday). When I put the puffer in my tank, I gave him frozen blood worms and he didn't eat it. I thought it was strange, but figured maybe because he literally just got into a new tank - he wasn't going to eat.
I kept trying to give frozen blood worms and a snail but he wouldn't eat in front of me.

Yesterday (thursday) | put in a small piece of raw shrimp and he didn't eat it, so | left it in there and walked away. I couldn't tell if he actually ate it or not so I ended up throwing out the shrimp after 3 hours.

The kid at predatory fins told me they feed the puffers vibra bites and raw cut shrimp. I found it hard to believe but I gave it a try and bought some vibra bites, anddd he didn't eat that either.

Now I see these white spots on his skin. What can this be? It doesn't look like Ich. I have a Siamese algae eater, 1 pea puffer. Tank has been cycling for 1 month now with those two fish inside. Water is clean. Tested the water with those strips. No nitrites. Some (20-40) nitrates.

I noticed the pea puffer pecking at him. Can it be from trauma or something else ?

Paint jobs recommendations

I have an 89 GT vert that had a rattle can white spray paint job (it looked awful, and there’s overspray on the black top). The original color of the car is 1K, which LMR says is a light grey color (which doesn’t look like today’s greys to me, and I don’t see many examples online).

I am thinking of getting a paint job, likely a shade of white to resemble the original paint job. The bodyshop said if I wanted a single stage paint ford YZ and he’ll apply a 2 layer clear coat… or a white base coat and then 2 layers of clear. Price is the same.

Is one more preferred? I always thought single stage paint is cheaper, but if he’s adding 2 layers of clear then would that make a difference ?
