Someone just decided to spray paint your car

I agree with the clay bar idea...

Try "Goof Off". It wont shouldnt damage your paint, just get it off once your done. Ive used it on my car to remove emblem backing and it works great... Im sure it will work on the spray paint too.

first you get some goof off and spray it on the krylon. Then you take the punk @ss by the hair of the head and scrub that SH*T with his face till the paint is removed. You will love the results!!!! And feel so refreshed afterwards..

You may not like this, but it's what worked for me. My T/A and my truck both got hit, and this is what I did. Get a roll of paper towel, and a jerry can full of gas (told you you wouldn't like it). Wet the paper towel with gas, and rub it down. It should come off. Also, keep a spray bottle of really good detergent soap handy, to spray down the paint after using the gas.

When you're done, get yourself to the carwash immediately, and clean the paint really good. If the amount of time between using the gas on your paint, and washing it off at the carwash is minimal, then there will be no damage to your paint.

These guys went up my entire street, and plastered every vehicle. I was lucky enough to have 2 of my vehicles done (primer red on the truck). I was not a happy person that day!

I guess Ill try some gasoline even tho it seems alittle drastic it will work. Its reallly cheap spray paint because if you rub on it alittle comes off so it must not be very good stuff.

Im still so pissed yet i dont know who did it so i dont think i should go and retaliate....I really dont think its the girls boyfriend because he just got his mustang painted and he wasnt around that night so i dont know. Plus somebody i work with said they saw some guy walking around my car and ****. Plus the mustang guy knows better than to mess with my car...he knows me and my boys are way crazier than he is. Soon as i stepped in work yesterday i was so pissed i was shaking and if he would have shown his face right then he was gonna get a set of brass knuckles to the skull area. I thought for sure i was gonna go to jail yesterday :lala:

Maybe you should try a little rubbing compound first. If it is not that bad, and some comes off when you rub it. I would try that before gas, although I also don't think gas will hurt it unless you leave it on there for long. But I would feel a whole lot better with rubbing compound on my car rather than gasoline. Just my opinion

i went ahead and used some gas..took it off in seconds. I just rubbed it on the sprayed it off real quick and washed it with soap and water. the gas wasnt on the car for more than 10 seconds so it should be ok.

Yeah I thought it was going to be way harder to get off than that. I figured I would have to get that paintjob I was wanting alittle earlier than expected. Im not nearly as pissed off now but I still want to find out who did it and get revenge.

when you find out who did it, dump a bottle of fuel injector cleaner or somethin on the hood. They will learn to mess with you. Too bad there were no witnesses, or he could pay for your new paint job.

Well If its the guy I first thought he couldnt afford to have my car painted. He just painted his but he knew someone and it didnt cost him a dime more than the paint. Well the guy is a high school dropout that just got fired from Po-Boys used tires. Hes a dumbass. He has a POS 86 mustang GT. I actually smoked his *** one night it was hilarious. Something is bad wrong with his car because I raped him pretty bad and he even admitted it. Then he found out I had sex with his girlfriend and now he hates me. But that was months ago. I really dont think he did it because we are cool now and he knows if he messes with my car his mustang will get it bad. Like i said it one post me and my boys are pretty insane. A guy i know actually caught a car on fire for someone for 20$ LOL

TBI305Camaro Make sure you wax that area of your car you basicly stripped off any wax that was on the car.
