A sorry bunch of S.O.B.'s
Well, I walk out this morning and I see this. Some young artist decided to use my trailer as his canvas.
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.

To achieve excellence, excellence cannot be rushed. Technique is just as important as the product used.
While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.

Ed, sorry to see that. Was your trailer parked at home? Hope you don't get targeted.

Sorry to see this as well. Some people have no respect and are simply idiots. Hopefully the Police can figure out who did it.

Your title sums up my thoughts. Sorry that they did it to you, Ed. Hope that they get theirs.

Man that's frustrating and total BS! I'm really sorry about that. I just don't understand how that could possibly be fun for someone.

Really sorry about that. Makes it tough to be the better man when things like that happen.

Thats one of the best shows on tv, love it.
Man that sucks though with the paint, police may be able to identify the gang (as that does not look like a kid doing graffiti for fun) who tagged the trailer if they compare the tags/design to their database.
