Any traffic cameras around? I'm sure with paint the EPA or whoever it is over there would be keen to give the bloke a smack too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawlass Silver Donating Members 1,161 Member For: 17y 1m 5d Gender: Male Location: left right out Posted 18/07/14 06:58 AM Share Posted 18/07/14 06:58 AM Mate, that sucks !Im a painter by trade, and if it came off the body work with turps , then take off the wheels , glove up and get into the inner gaurds with turps /shellite /petrol- any of these will do the trick and some rag and a scrubbing brush or nail brush. Be carefull not to get too crazy as the solvent will flick off the bristles and really ruin your day as it lands in your eyeballs- safety glasses are your friend. lots of rag for the last few goes to get her sparkling then a warm soapy water wash to clean any solvents away.If it kinda smeared with turps but you got there in the end then it may have been acrylic ( water based ) and lots of hot soapy water with a good shot of methalated spirits and a stiff scrubing brush will do the trick.Once again, safety glasses are your friend. Make sure you have good ventilation. Waiting for the insurance will mean you get new inner gaurds as their is no way 3 day old enamel is coming off cleanly.Also, the body panels you cleaned with turps will now have no wax, so time to re-apply that too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
