Used a grinder near my corvette, now paint has hundreds on small rusty pits!!!
My idiot brother-in-law was grinding on his trucks ladder rack with my Vette 3 feet away directly in the path of his sparks!!!!
Now the car is covered with 100's of small rust color spots and each one has pitted the paint and they were hot enough to even pit the back glass. I know the glass isn't repairable.
I'm so angry.... Though I can't fix the glass what are my options to fix the paint?
Thanks for your help,
Guy

ouch man I feel your pain. Without pics it may be tough to correctly diagnose how bad the paint is, but it may need to be repainted.

Top of left and right quarters, 8-10" trailing edge roof, entire back glass, vertical of right quarter, entire rear fascia.
At first I thought it was pollen.
Gave me the typical Erkel response, "Did I do that?". Of course no offer to make it right.

Sorry to hear that. You can try buffing out the glass with Ceriglass which is cerium oxide. You will need a rayon pad with a rotary. A DA buffer might work, but it will take a lot of passes.
Hard to say about the paint, but hot metal looks like it needs a repaint, I would try to wet sand and buff first..nothing to lose if you are going to repaint anyway.

I would file a claim with the homeowner's insurance and repaint.

Wow the brother in law deserves a hard punch in the face imo. Why are people so selfish? I can guarantee he wouldn't use a grinder near his corvette.

Insurance should cover it under negligence. Was it at your house or his house?

Violence won't solve his problem.
