Armando, what a pleasant way to spend a day off  :) .   Heck, the red car in the first image , is a really good Red.  I enjoyed viewing all.  Great 'job' with the little camera.  Looks as if you had a mixture of light.  Nice PP.
I need to get out with the Pen F and see what Street Art I can find.   
Thanks for the motivation  :)

This is a very enjoyable series, Armando!  The sensitivity to the passionate color seems to represent the national characteristic.

that is the colour shock I like - many different styles, but all of them worthwhile to look at

Thanks Akira, Tim, Fons, John, Thomas, Tommie, yes it was a nice walk, light was from a slightly cloudy day, on some images you can see a white sky,
the sun still came through with probably -2EV vs a clear sky.

When I got home the sky was still the same, so I created a colorchecker profile for the conditions and used it to process the images, this made the colors really vibrant by just selecting the color profile and pressing 'auto' on ACR develop settings.

The latest ACR version I presume.?  I noticed it's a lot more saturated than before when using 'auto'. In many cases I have to move the slider below zero.

John,
yes, latest ACR, and it is the first times I'm using it on this particular computer,  I did move the vibrancy to 0, I did not touch the saturation slider

Thanks for the tip
