Used a grinder near my corvette, now paint has hundreds on small rusty pits!!!

Get a couple of estimates; then,
give your BIL the opportunity to
make restitution.

No reason you should have your
insurance pay for his momentary
lapse in judgement, IMO.

Sounds like a great opportunity to put kamikaze artificial clear coat to the test.

I don't even know how I would react. I'd probably be in prison after that.

It will depend on whose property it was on. If it is on the OP's property, it will be on his homeowner's insurance. He could get the BIL to cover teh deductible. If it is on BIL's property, OP should be covered by BIL's homeowner's insurance. If it was on neutral ground, that will be on OP's auto insurance.

I went through an insurance situation recently with a windstorm and a tree limb.

The kind of guy who grinds right by your corvette and ruins the paint ain't exactly the kind of guy to own up and pay restitution. Just something to keep in mind before you destroy your own sanity and the mood of the next 5 holiday get togethers.

That's why you let insurance deal with it.

Where do you live? Maybe someone near you can help out

And then your premiums go up because of your brother in law is an imbecile, no it's called accountability. And I highly doubt any insurance company given the "true" facts in this instance would pay a nickle to fix it. Being an adult, he's accountable and he should pay whatever it takes to fix it.

Insurance would pay. If wind blows a healthy tree limb on your friend's car, homeowder's insurance will not pay because that is an "act of god." As I found out.

Rates should not go up. There's a word that the insurance agent told me that I have forgotten, but basically means your premiums won't go up because it wasn't your fault.

your state may vary.

Or OP can choose to have a go at getting the money from his brainiac brother in law.
