Some motherfucking kids just spray painted my 09 fit from headlight to back door yesterday.. :mad:
What can I use to remove the spray paint but not damaging the paint on the car itself?

Thanks

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

shit that pretty harsh

im guessing some sort of gasoline or nail polish remover might work? but i don know if it will be harmful to the paint underneath, damaging ur clear coat and stuff

How big was the spary paint?

If it's large enough, report it to ICBC and get a NEW paintjob :)


Is your car as bad as this?

not that big,, just one horizontal line from headlight to the back door.

Im trying not to pay 300 deductable for that if possible.

i did a search on the forum.. looks like this product Xzenit works well. Does anyone know where i can get it?

isnt dat 3series parked right outside of SR racing?

[Anjew]

oh my fucking god.....

[Raid3n]

if your car was recently pollished, you might be able to get away with just stripping the wax off maybe.

if its on the clearcoat......not sure....talk to some detailing places, see if they know any tricks.

Hardcore clay baring? I can remember a friend and i did it for his car once. It sucked hard, but we got it done and his car looked great afterwards! Quite the process tho!

[Nvasion]

acetone?
methyl hydrate

[jlenko]

A product called "Goof Off" works mint. Just don't touch your headlights or plastic parts with it - they'll melt if you leave enough on it. Regular metal is fine tho.

Also, a Mr Clean Magic Eraser does work... but takes a lot longer..

[Rich Sandor]

Try Goof Off first, in a small area of the car. I was just using it to remove the carpet & glue residue from the inside shell of my race car. It takes the glue right off without fucking up the paint. Don't wait long - the harder the spray paint gets, the less effective the goof off will be.

You can also try Toulene in a very small area and see how that works. It's like Goof Off but way harser, but doesn't actually remove paint like WD40, but it may dull the finish if you let it sit too long.

Otherwise just buck up the $300 or $500 deductable and get it fixed by ICBC at a Bodyshop.

Clay bar works fine.

[asian_XL]

Fuck all the suggestion above...

my buddy's car got spray painted in SFU...he brought his car to ICBC, the estimator there took out a can of paint remover and it was gone COMPLETELY, he even waxed that part for him. FREE AND EASY.

i used this stuff (finish prep): http://finishfirstpolish.com/orderpage.html

this was back in my honda-tech days. i had used the finish first polish stuff on my dad's car about 2-3 months prior, and then he went out one night downtown and some moron spray painted "FUCK" all over the hood and every other car in the restuarant parking lot. it wasn't until morning before i could do something about it i spent maybe an hour and half the 8oz. bottle getting it off :(

no idea and I don't care as long as they are willing to do it for free...:lol

his rear 1/4 panel looks fine, I don't see any difference afterward.

[ShanghaiKid]

fuck all these little kids/teens/delinquents/retards that have nothing better to do but fuck with other people and getting away with it

i keep a fucking baseball bat by my door because fuckfaces like these seem to enjoy egging our entire neighbourhood periodically

karma and darwinism.... one day.

[jackal]

This dude got freaking owned!

I remember seeing this car like years back when the 335 first came out getting towed with all the spray painting and shit. Who ever did that also burned his taillight and mirror + other random car parts. Had a N sign on that back so I assume he pissed of some other teenagers.

Yes, it was the same car as you were talking about.

Yes its tail light was like melted by acid or somthingl. The picture was taking in 2007.

[JSALES]

would some of the products mentioned above work on a car window ?

[alex.w *//]

clay bar!

[simsimi1004]

sometimes i wish someone did this to my whole car so i can get a new paint job for 300$.

[Liquid_o2]

My car got spray painted a few weeks ago in the States while at the outlets. There are light dots all over the front. Not extreme, looks like lots of bug splatters.

Haven't had time to fix it yet, but my buddy is a bodyman and says that we are going to try claybar/ cut and polish. He says it should work.

Bring it to any body shop. A simple wipe with paint reducer will take the spray paint off. Then a quick polish will bring the clearcoat back up. Pretty simple task for any body shop. Just make sure they use paint reducer and NOT gunwash/paint thinner.

[Shun Izaki]

Either you pissed someone off REALLY badly...

or kids are just being fucking assholes these days... reminds me of the time someone threw a bucket of white paint on some cars in metro parking lot...

Probably annoyed I took them out in MT XD

That being said, it's not hard to recognize my car anymore :(

[shimo]

yeah.. have used claybar works good if you wax ur car regularly.

[ilvtofu]

:werd: the paintjob i have now is pretty cheap even though it's new, I want my whole car painted! but then I wouldn't know what colour, white is pretty nice :haha: maybe a metallic grey, or Adon white :thumbsup:

Is it wrong to be driving a car that you love but at the same time wanting someone to damage it so you can write it off and get new stuff?

If you make a claim due to vandalism ICBC will NOT let you change the color of the car. They actually send out an estimator from ICBC to visually inspect the vehicle before it is released from the repair shop.

[hamsup]

take some paint thinner and put some on a towel.. and wipe down the spray painted areas... it should come out if it is recent.

if not.. try to claybar and/or polish the rest out... you can usually bring it to a shop and ask them how much it would cost to cut and polish just one side...
