Well, I walk out this morning and I see this. Some young artist decided to use my trailer as his canvas.:mad:
And yes very loud words were coming out of my mouth. I was pissed to say the least.
Well after a few phone calls, to the police/friends/body shop. Police show up,take a few photos, right a report then leave. To the office to tell of the vandalizing of my trailer. Then to the body shop to remove Da Vinci's artwork.
Started out with a can of graffiti remover, worked good. Was able to use a plastic razor blade to scrape off most of it. Then wiped it down with lacquer thinner, this removed almost all of it. Then went at it with 3M extra cut a wool pad and the DeWalt. The back door with the red came all off. I had put the speed at 3000rpm, on the blue section. Since it bled into the paint leaving a redish tint left behind. It is faint from a distance it looks like smudges, then about 10 feet away you can kind of still read it.So I am not sure if I am going to repaint it, or replace the skin.
