Any particular reason for what looks like a four year old’s paint job?

Yes, it breaks the lines of the ship, so it’ll be harder to spot.

Stealth is not "invisibility". Stealth is "reduced detecability and reduced identifability".
That crazy paint job breaks up the outline and confuses the shape of the ship at sea, making her harder to notice and recognise. Similar crazy paint jobs have been used by warships and military transports as far back as WWI.

Another feature of that pattern is that it becomes harder to identify the most vulnerable portions of the ship.
