Answer 1

Don't fool me! This car has had paint work (or paint job to uncover clues about the car's accident history); I am the one who colors sparrows and sells them as canaries.

"Don't kid a kidder." It's an older phrase that I don't hear much these days. It means that you shouldn't try to deceive someone who is deceptive; they will see the deception. It's often said in a way that means "We both know what's going on here", but in a lighthearted way.
