Reply With QuoteAnyone paint anything near where you parked? Years and years ago when they
painted the Ben Franklin bridge my girlfriend's mom had her Trans Am parked
in Camden near the river, and when she went to go home there were tons of
little tiny blue dots all over one side of her car. The win blew the paint
from the bridge across the parking lot since it was close, and many cars
were dotted. My dad was painting the fence with one of them fancy spray guns
once and forgot to move his car from the other side of the fence, and now
it's got a bunch of little white dots on the back side of it. They come off
if you pick at them, but it's a lot of work, for a Geo anyway. Just a
thought.

wat happened to my paint?
I did a run up I-75 this morning from Tampa to Brooksville. Upon
arrival I notice a whole host of little splatters on the left rear part
of my rear bumper.
They are flush with the paint and appear a darker blue than the paint
color. 95% of them are no bigger than 2 to 3 mm accross. However there
are two about 10 by 5 mm. Those have light spots in the middle that
appear to be the PVC of the bumper. I tried removing them with cleaner
wax and polishing compound. No joy.
Does anybody know what may have happened here? Did some truck I passed
or that passed me splatter some paintstripper or corrosive stuiff on my
car?
Guess I'm going to be out of pocket for a bumper repaint. Probably
looking at $300 or so. *grrrr* Since I dunno who did it, I doubt the
insurance (full coverage) will cover it. And if mine does, they'll
probably jack up the premium more than $300 this year alone...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I can make pictures of the
damage available if need be...

A good buffing compound followed by a polish will take those off
easily as well....speaking from experience.

Insurance companies look at payouts as loans; your premiums will only
increase enough to pay them back what you "borrowed" plus interest. Since
most states require insurance, you probably can't avoid it; but, if you
have to fork over any cash for car repairs, it might not be a bad idea to
shop around for a low-interest "home improvement" loan. You'll pay either
way, but a bank loan looks good, while an insurance claim looks bad.

sip coffee and talk to a couple people all day, of course. ;-)
