Hola. El contexto explica que un pintor que ha comprado un caballo de carreras acaba perdiendo una carrera de un millón de dólares. Así que el narrador dice: "my guess was that the owner-painter would get back to his paints and paint his way right the hell out of all of that".
¿Pueden ayudarme?

I prefer brochazos even if it isn´t painter-decorator//pintor de brocha gorda because it sounds more vehement, more 'major action'.

...se "pintaria" fuera de esta deuda
en algunas partes "pintarse" equivale a "salirse" de algo.
