so i came back from playing basketball last night to the 2 driver side doors being covered in white paint (4 door black gp).
it was still wet, it was dumped within a half hour of my discovery, so i took it up to the DIY car wash and power washed it 3 times until most of it was off. i think there might be a few bits and perhaps a few faint streaks. it dried up and stuck in the tread of the back driver side tire. any suggestions? any input? anyone have any ideas for getting my car back to 100%?

I too have been vandalized..at least all you got was some paint to wash off, I still have a 3" gouge and dent in the rear trunk lid (just haven't felt like paying the $500.00 deductible yet to get it fixed)
Take a steel brush to the tire to remove the paint.
Meguires "paint cleaner" will fix any issues you have with the paint on the car itself.

I wouldn't worry about it in your tire, it will come off from driving.
As for the paint the safest way to do it is to use a little bit of laquer thinner on the big spots and then use a claybar.
You can get a bar at any autoparts store.

X2 - Also if its just regular latex house paint, thats better then if someone used oil based paint. alil laquar thiner and a good re-wax/buffing will make her shine Originally posted by The Fridge: I wouldn't worry about it in your tire, it will come off from driving.

Do you have anyone that dislikes you or ne thing, if so i'd maybe try to listen in to see. I'd so get back at whoever did that.
