Default Well this is unfortunate... (Vandalism sucks)

Okay, so it was my graduation weekend and I was staying at a hotel in Lake Buena Vista, near Disney. I parked my Z in the hotel parking lot, and on the morning of my checkout, I find that it was spraypainted, egged, and keyed. The hotel didn't have security cameras in that specific parking lot. My comprehensive insurance deductible is 0, so I'm trying to look at this as a free paint job

Anything similar happen to you guys?

holy **** man... at least they didn't break into your car or break windows, etc.... That's odd too b/c lake Buena Vista is a very touristy area, right? I go there all the time to stay at a time share in the area and its doesn't seem like an area where something like that happens too often.

I'd have a heart attack if that was my car, new paint job or not. Make sure who ever you take your car to de-trims everything prior to paint. Plus ask about the quality of the materials they use; a lot of shops use cheap materials to cut down cost. I hope everything works out in the end for you.

Wow, that's a recipe for rage.

I'd love to catch someone doing that. Muahahahahaha!

Good luck with cleaning up your Z. I'm sure it's going to cost a pretty penny.

Happened to my other car, if it's rattle can it can be removed easily no need for an entire respray. I had my car professionally detailed and they removed it all.

You will probably be able to clean up the body by buff.polish/wax. But taillights, wheels, side mirrors are f'd.

That is so ****ed up. And i got pissed while at cruise week when i had 6 scratches from people walking between my Z and a buddies GTO.


I would kill someone if they did this to my car.

IIRC you can use WD-40 to remove it.

If I ever caught screw ups tagging my Z like that I would most likely abduct them and take them to an old abandoned warehouse and beat/torture them within an inch of their life, then dump their limp bodies off the side of the road egging them and spray painting their face...

All that over a car? Sure you would...

It sucks, it's inconvenient, but that's what insurance and lawsuits are for.
