Do I really need to explain the difference between OCD and OPD? Again?

Most people that claim they have "OCD" are not even close.

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder where people feel the need to check things repeatedly, perform certain routines repeatedly (called "rituals"), or have certain thoughts repeatedly. People are unable to control either the thoughts or the activities for more than a short period of time. Common activities include hand washing, counting of things, and checking to see if a door is locked. Some may have difficulty throwing things out. These activities occur to such a degree that the person's daily life is negatively affected.[1] Often they take up more than an hour a day.[2] Most adults realize that the behaviors do not make sense.[1] The condition is associated with tics, anxiety disorder, and an increased risk of suicide

In the case of the car condition it would be OCD if you kept repainting it even though there was not a single chip or scratch.

OCPD is this:
Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a general pattern of concern with orderliness, perfectionism, excessive attention to details, mental and interpersonal control, and a need for control over one's environment, at the expense of flexibility, openness to experience, and efficiency. Workaholism and miserliness are also seen often in those with this personality disorder.[2] Rituals are performed to the point of excluding leisure activities and friendships. Persons affected with this disorder may find it hard to relax, always feeling that time is running out for their activities, and that more effort is needed to achieve their goals.

So in the same example you want the car to stay perfect even though it is not an even remotely realistic.

Not the same thing

Now we could go a little further into the autism spectrum where another large group of people that say they have OCD actually fall but we will keep that for Advanced Forum Psychological Condition Diagnosis For Dummies.
