What Aircraft Remover Will Do

Posted August 24, 2012 9:00 AM by CarDomain

Actually of course, it's what the industrial-grade paint stripper is supposed to do. But these pics demonstrate what a complete disaster it can be if the stuff gets flung onto your paint by accident or in an act of vandalism, as appears to have been the case for this unfortunate Suzuki Grand Vitara. So have you ever worked with this stuff? Even in those instances where I've had to remove paint from an entire panel, I've generally considered it not worth the hassle. What a mess! See more pics below the jump from this thread on diymobileaudio, via Hooniverse.

After reading the source forum and its posts it would apear that the vehical is driven by an 18 year old girl.

Given my life experiances with girls of that age in high school and college years ago I can see someone doing this and feeling more than justified in do it as well. I would not nesisarily say it was her fault but given what teenage girls are more than capable of doing I can full well see how one could piss somebody off bad enough to do this. The other option is that her parents are not well liked, for any number of reasons as well, and she is not directly the source of the problem.

I have seen girls and adults who both act like they are the victums every chance they get but everyone knows they just prey on everyone else for any and every excuse they can get.

So, there is some justification, in your mind, for this destructive vandalism?

Sorry, I don't see it.

I understand (and do not disagree with) your observations about teenage girls (as if teen boys are any better), but I fail to see this behavior (behaving like a brat kid) as justification for this retaliation lesson that seems to have been dispensed. What good will come from this, for anybody?

Your assertion that, because it is mindful rather than mindless vandalism, this willful destruction is defensible strikes me as an odd position to take.

I never said it was justified. Rather What I am pointing at is that teenagers and a$$h0le adults are typically who get this sort of things done to them with mindful deliberate intent.

I remember in high school the one girl who saw herself as the victim of these sort of vandalism and what nots was also the schools #1 queen Bee itch. Her and her family treated everyone like dirt and worse but expected to have their butts kissed on a daily basis because they had money. (They also had a bankruptcy and a shady lawsuit or two they won which helped considerably on the attaining their wealth but that's another story.)

So yes to be honest when bad stuff happened to her and her family you can bet I didn't shed a tear.

Oh, oh. Better get Maaco. Halfway there to a new paint job. Very impressive substance. Sure would take the hassle out of paint prep but if that's what it does to paint, your skin hasn't a chance. Eeeks.
