How did James solve yet another problem?

The Cloud Men are angry that the peach crashed into the rainbow, so James has Centipede cut the rope that the giant Cloud-Man had attached himself to; as soon as the rope is clipped, the fearsome Cloud-Man is lifted straight into the air. Stunned at this sight, the other Cloud-Men let go of their ropes and the peach is freed from the tangled mess. But out of anger, the Cloud-Men began throwing all the paint and tools at their disposal at the peach, and Centipede is covered in purple paint.
