Why do people hate on other people rides?

[James[vicious]]

I was on lunch mindin my on business and parked my car at taco bell. i parked next to a 91 honda civic all riced out and didn't think anything of it. Well a lil while after i got my food the owner of the h and his buddy walked out. about 10 minutes later i get ready to leave and there is a frickin scratch from the headlight to the middle of the drivers door!!!!!!! Now just cause my versa is red, lowered and has 17" konig runaways gives those bz's a reason to do that! damn people!!!!!!!! good thing i have touch up paint lol

I dont know about that touch up paint stuff. My friend had a big ol scratch in his car and we used it but the only thing it did was make it worse. We did the primer, the silver color, then the clear coated and wet-sanded the clear cloat. Came out good but the colors did not match even though on the paint case thing it said it was made for the exact make and color.

Touch up paints are never exact...

James - how deep is the scratch? Is it to the primer or metal, or is it just into the clear/paint? If you're lucky, you can buff it out with some rubbing compound. I had some scratches on my roof from a low-hanging tree branch, and some Turtle Wax rubbing compound fixed it right up. (Would have used Meguiars, but for some reason Schucks didn't have it)

As for why people do that... because they are dumb punks. there is no other reason or explanation. It's the same reason why I woke up on saturday morning to the side of my house being egged.

what color is the primer? It looks like it might be down to the primer. I am not sure though. Ill have my dad look at it when he gets back into town. I have the actual paint for the car. The company my dad works for does lots of business with a paint company. All i know is if i find out where they live there gonna have a jeep parked on there car lol. I hope the touch up paint works for now. I will prolly be getting it painted next year.

I swear it wasnt me!

Before you go off on a painting spree, try the rubbing compound first. A bottle of compound and some terry cloths will run you less than $10, and you can't hurt anything. If it's too deep, it simply won't work.

[James[vicious]]

all right ill try that and maybe ill get a pic or two of my ride on here even though its kiinda scratched lol

Couple days when I went out to go to work I found my V egged....and for what? So someone can feel special about themselves? The second day I had my V I gave it to the dealer to fix some shiz from when I bought it and the first night my rental got egged. Then when I got my car back about 2 weeks later my V got egged. I cant stand that, took about an hour to clean up and left alot of scratches on the clear coat :\. Ive used turtle wax on it about 6 times since then and Ive had my car for almost a year and the scratches still arent gone.

2 things, SCRATCHEs lol wont go away unless u repaint ur car,The touch up paint really does work and is almost exact. Had a really bad scrach on the side fender in the back by someone who thought my car was part of the curb while they double park. Used the paint once it looked like the wrong paint, then I did it couple more times over it, and if you look at it you cant find the spot.

That depends more on the depth of the scratch than anything. If it's scratched to the primer or metal, you're right. You can't just buff it out. You can use touch-up paint to help conceal it, or you can repaint the car.

But if the scratch is in the clear or the first layer or two of paint, then buffing it CAN remove the scratch... If you don't believe me, go back to my Rambler thread and look at the pictures of the hood after buffing it... the left looked like the right BEFORE it was buffed.

People do stupid things to other peoples car out of pure jeolocy (sp?) Always spell that word wrong.. What i would have done, is asked to see the Camera footage from tacobell. Get the bastards licence plate, and report them to the police. that will teach them.

ThAT IS just the way honda people roll. if it looks better we must destroy. that's y i got rid of my integra. some one would take my scilencer of my exhaust. take my custom antenna or something gay like leave a soda on top of my car, take it as a compliment that you wish they kept to themselfs.

sorry bro

lol what I meant was scratches wont go away by itself.

This is true. What buffing does is it moves some of the paint from the high spot into the low spot to mask it. It does a better job than touch up for small scratches because it doesn't add more material to the high spot like you're bound to get with touch up paint.

It has got nothing to do with Honda. They are just punks and lack the common decency and respect for others. They could be driving a Toyota or a Nissan and nothing would have changed.

So if you apply several coats it will come out good? Cause when me and my friend applied it to his car it was alot darker. We only applied 1 coat though. lol

Back when I was 19, there was another neighborhood kid that really hated me. He egged my car once a week for two months. His car of choice? Lifted Ford truck.

It's not the car, it's just how big of a punk you are that makes you do this.
