Not for the faint of heart...

I recieved a call from a good friend of mine this morning... I could tell right away that something was wrong just from his tone. He informs me that he found his car this morning with gallon of paint all over his car... so I rushed over to assist in damage control....

 

Here is what I found.... (ps after pictures will be posted once I finish the car)

Man! I'd wanna do some serious bodily harm on somebody! Hope he knows who did it. Guess he's going for a total repaint job.

[BlueGenCoupe]

ouch! If someone did that to my car, I'd LOSE IT!

 

So now what?

 

Tell adam to come up with something to remove that paint! :lol:

[Kingsford]

Ex GF?

 

 

Isn't that how Scions are supposed to look?

[StormChaser]

There are no words to describe the pain that would be inflicted on the culprit.

 

Not sure if your friend is filing a claim on his insurance but if he has Comprehensive, it's covered minus applicable deductible.

 

It does look like it's oil based...(based on the way it was dripping down the side)...but obviously I could be wrong.

Getting the paint off the paint will be the easy part. It's getting the paint off the parts that are NOT painted that will be fun. The cracks will be the most fun. Not a job I would tackle without a serious payday.

Getting the paint off may not be that bad. Assuming it's latex paint, go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy some of this: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100115816/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

 

It''s also available in a spray bottle. I've used this stuff to get dried paint off wood, tile, clothes, sneakers, and other surfaces without ever causing damage to anything. It works very well (even on years-old paint) and it will be a godsend for getting the paint out of the narrow, difficult parts. Be sure to test in an inconspicuous area first, of course.

 

Good luck! And just what did your buddy do to get someone this angry?

This should be interesting.

[Junkman2008]

What did you use to get the paint off the weather stripping? That's where the work was. Since everyone knows how wax sticks to the cracks, imagine paint.

[Chris@Adams]

What a shame! Someone wasn't man enough to come to him face to face!

[Vincenzo]

If I saw someone do that to my car, they would have to lock me up for the rest of my life.

Not if you had any "ADAMS" guys on the jury!!!!

that would be the ONLY reason I would actually WANT to attend and in fact beg for the chance to be on the jury...

 

 

acquitted for temporary insanity!!!

I would go immediately to the coin car wash, and powerwash the snot out of that paint. I bet 90% will blast right off. Go easy on the moldings. Keep us posted!

 

Ex girlfriend? Who hates this person??

[Justin@SwanCreek]

We still have no idea as too who could have done it... After 15 hours of pain staking work I have to say I am really happy with the results and how well adams products work...

 

Steps:

Power wash

Clean tires and rims

Clean tail pipe

Spray down with foam gun

Hand wash with two bucket system

Dry

Open and clean engine compartment, rear lift gate, fuel tank cover, drivers door jam, and sun roof (with steam, wcw, & apc).

Clay bar entire car

1 pass with swirl and haze removal

1 pass with FMP

And then I finished up with BG and SVRT and sprayed the whole car down with detail spray....

 

And here are the results...
