Vandalism

zeeder · 11-18-2013, 04:44 PM

Some jack hole spray painted the rear quarter of my car. Is there anything I can do or am I looking at a repaint?!

Exactly, although a major downer, it's easily fixed. Be thankful it wasn't a key or a screwdriver.

You may be able to get it off with acetone, should dissolve the spray paint but don't soak your panel in it (shouldn't be an issue but might as well spell it out).

Wow

+1 that a polish would probably take that out or find a friend with an orbital buffer

Where did this happen?

You can easily fix this

Wow some people just shouldn't be alive on this planet...Sorry buddy.

It should come right off with some suggestions people have mentioned. No need for a repaint.

DEpointfive0 · 11-18-2013, 08:16 PM

No acetone! But get yourself some lacquer thinner, it'll come off in 5 seconds, you'll be SHOCKED. And without damaging your clear coat

Somebody needs to be put on ice.

zmanelite · 11-18-2013, 09:17 PM

Just use Gas and a rag
Be sure to polish and re-wax the finish when you are done

Wabbyyy · 11-18-2013, 10:40 PM

Wow. That's unbelivable. Sorry to hear this. Just buy some high grade polish and buff it out. Should wipe right off. Maybe even try rubbing compound and rub it off with a microfiber towel?

Everyone has posted some good tips. My buddy dropped a can of white paint and it splashed on my car. It removes easily.
