Ok so i got my other fb proffesionally primered cost 300, and left it in the driveway instead of putting it in the garage like i was supposed to! my ******* father came down for his visitation rites to see my sister for a couple hours. i was not at home but my grandma was and so he had to wait while i picked her up. i left a can of epoxy paint out that i was painting my louvers with. this mother ****** spraypainted a ****** 13( like sum gang ****) on my car!!!!! probably cuz he jealous and hes never owned anything nice!!! i dont know wat possess's a human bieng to do this(he is a no good drunk loser tho so i dont consider him human) but i got so pissed i threw a **** fit. i have overspray all over my windows, my door handles to that were black!!! and my window seals are completely painted and trashed. i need to know how to undo this!!! obviously sand and repaint the metal, source new seals from mazdatrix, but how do i get the paint of the door handles that were so nice without ******* them up. and also how do i get the paint off my windows???? will s.o.s. pads screw up the glass??? i would never use sos on the handles as it looks like itll leave marks and swirls. Please !!! i need all the help i can get!! n sorry for the cussing im just really pissed and sad. ima drink a beer n calm down now.!!!
and also how do i get back at this son of a bitch??? what can i do?

 

So sorry man. From what i've read, clay and fingernails work good for the rubber and trim. The door handles I would imagine would have to be stained. I would call the sherrifs department over the citys. Make a police report and take him to small claims court. To get your money back so you can, refix it again.


add: also about the windows, when I use to tint cars we would fill a sprayer bottle with water and top of off with dishwashing soap. Then we would spray the window and use a razorblade to clean the dirt, debree, film off. Maybe the same would work for the paint.

 

yeah i just talked to the guy that painted it n he said bring it down saturday n hell repaint my doors and put the window seals on. im telling the case worker that he vandalized my property that way he can never show up to my house again, and i filed a police report n getting a lawyer to see about a restraining order. stained door handles ? how do i do that? im not good with paint and stuff its all magic to me! and how about the glass too? and thank you very much for the info man, i appreciate it!!!

 

I do believe you can get new door handles off of black dragon (that's what I'm doing).
For glass..... hmmmm...... fingernails? maybe a fine jewelers screw driver covered in a paper towel drenched in paint thinner? I don't know, it might work but it might also **** your car up even more. I'm not worried about the thinner ruining glass cause it won't, it's if it drips you'll have some trouble.


I always believe in Karma when getting people back. So be the better man and call the cops for vandalism.

 

I believe the door handles are metal. You should be able to mask off the surrounding area wet sand them down with a very fine grit sandpaper, etch prime them (found at body paint shops, kinda cheap stuff), and spray paint them black.

 

If he is a no good A-hole.. File a police report, it is vandalism after all. Make him pay for the damages..

 

i did file it already the cops station is litterally 1 block behind my house n i got a little paper with the case number on it n the officer said their gunna follw up on it since he lves in a different county. can i take him to small claims if the damage is under 500bucks. n idont think i need a lawyer right cuz i have the police report? wet sandind does sound good!! know of any good paint that wont peel or flake in the sun or stain with fingerprints like primer does? im going to mask the around the doors and set up towels everywhere and try little bits of paint thinner on a napkin for the windows . i hope i dont screw up

 

probably heavyduty epoxy paint like for my louvers?

 

unless i take it to the shop and see what they say cuz if im reading rite its 160 bucks for both new handles.

 

son of a bitch, i just notice the covers on the mirrors!!! what about those thinner will definately mess those up rite?

 

ok so i looked online at mazdatrix(shulda done that first) and found my outer window seals, and door handles(might as well start new rite?), ima place an order tomorrow for them. save the reciept(as always! and give it to the detective to compensate my damages hopefully)and the window overspray is coming off little by little but it is a pain in the ***, ill finish tomorrow as its gettin kinda dark to see. if there is a tried and true way of takin the spray off the window PLEASE do let me know cuz my fingers hurt already n ive only done a 1/4 of one window!!!!( not to bitch cuz i know it must get done) now i just need to do sumthin about them mirrors?!. any info is greately appreciated n thanks you guys! ima sleep a little better tonight!

 

on the windows use a razor scraper, just make sure that the blade if flat against the window and you won't have to worry about it scratching the glass at all. You could do it with just the blade alone, but in a holder it will be alot easier and less chance that you cut the crap out of your fingers....

 

Gasoline... Rubber won't be affected by gasoline but paint will... And if your gonna repaint anyways just toss a gallon of gasoline with a sponge and clean it off.


Trust me it WILL eat through any paint given long enough time.




Or if you are a hoity toity rich dude use lighter fluid.


EDIT: use one of those green and yella sponges. it'll work a lot better, but just soaking in gas will do wonders.






EDIT 2: OH and I'd bash that man's face... But thats just me.

 

super fine steel wool on the glass and laquer thinner for the rubber. handles and mirrors can be scuffed and repainted black

 

You won't need a lawyer if your filing small claims.

Have the police report.
Have a date the car got back from the paint shop, bills, etc.
Have the date and time he got past the rx-7, destroyed, and left.
Have any receipts from the new door handles and trims.
Dont go for an outrageous amount of money, just whats covered in the damage and court fees.
Dont sue for self esteem or mental stress.
A judge does not like to point fingers with he said she said. They want proof.

If you do this you should be fine. Some attorneys will give out free advice

 

Take this souless creep who destroys autos out into the woods... Tie him to a tree and beat the hell out of him till he blacks out. Then leave him there covered in honey.

 

The razor blade on the window trick works awesome, I'd try that first since it gets everything else off.

Nice idea with the outer window seals. Mine are crap, and every junker I've found they are worthless as well.

That is a complete douchebag thing to do and I'm sorry for you. I once had someone key some inappropriate terms on my truck in high school a couple years ago - immature bastards. I hope it all turns out and I'll be keeping an eye on the thread to see how the situation progresses, good luck!

 

Acetone works well for the glass and most rubber too, but keep it off the body paint.

 

so does this mean i can use an S.O.S pad on the window cuz it pretty much is soft steel wool?. i use it to clean the whitewalls on my other cars but i notice that if i scrub to hard it leaves little scratches in the rubber but barely noticeable n after all the glass is denser than rubber, i think ill try it on a test piece from an old broken house window i got. n im pretty sure its gunna take sum elbow grease and very fine sand paper for the mirrors. any suggestions for a good paint for them???

 

i dont want an outrageous amount of money(although it would be nice) i just want the amount for the door handles and strips which is about 160- 170 n probably another 10 for the can of thinner i had to buy. luckily when i told the paint n body guy what happend he was real cool n said he'd do it for free but im still gunna kick him down a little money or at least a case of beer. ive got all the paperwork ready n just waiting for a call from the detective tonight. ill get the reciept from mazdatrix later when i go down to pick up the stuff after work

 

sorry to hear ... a lot of us have dealt with ppl like that ... don't stoop to his level ... razor blade on glass ... like you said sand and respray the metal ... I'd also sand and spray the door handles ...

it wouldn't even have been cool if he put a X behind the 13 ... just bustin them dude ... can appreciate your situation but it will all be ok

 

yeah man, i hate people with a passion who do this type of ****! they probably do it cuz theyre too afraid of confronting you and getting their *** kicked! so instead they hate on a poor defenseless piece of machinery. it sucks major ***! id love to get him back but i could never deface an automobile no matter what type, id rather beat his girlfriend to a pulp b4 i graffitti a car. but takin him to small claims will at least cover the car and thats all i care about but from now on i learned my lesson of never leaving my car in the driveway!

 

hahaha lol yeah or atleast a B

 

You and me both. I started to park my buick on the street at night. Within 2 nights the back and front had egg's on them. I used the stove cleaner to get the eggs off the windows.

hmm didnt even think about the stove cleaner for your window.

Just "do not" get it on your paint or around it.

 

oh ****, so i just got a call from the detective n he said their filing criminal charges n that its a mistomeaner what he did! (hahaha ****** bastard) n he said that if hes prosecuted that he'll have to pay AND that i can still take him to small claims and get more money! not that im an ******* but i thinks its time to teach him a lesson! sad to do this to my own flesh and blood but screw it, he shuldnt have done it in the first ****** place.
