Default Removing Paintballs

well im really pissed off so excuse my tone, but i live in an apartment building and i know it was the younger spanish kids in the apartment on the third floor next to me. i am tempted to go over there and knock on their door and start a fight because i am rippin pissed. they tried stealing my rims off my 01 trans am ws6 and failed royally because my alarm went off when they were trying to get the wheel locks off. well any way, i have several orange paint ***** on my driver door/fender and was wondering the best way to get them off with out damaging the clear/paint. they are frozen on as its about 11 degrees, so i dont wanna just start picking at it. but its orange paint on a black car.

I would go over there knock down the door. Drag there asses out buy their air and make them clean it with there tongues.
Normally paintballs are water and soap will dissovle them. But if they shot the car there will be dents.
I would go buy you a game camera at Wal-mart and set it up watching your car. Catch those dicks.

I agree get a bottle of warm water and add a little dawn or car wash too it. That should get the paint off. Take a extra bottle or two to rinse away the soap. As said above there is a good chance there will be dents.

Paintballs are a water based product and you should have no problems getting it off. Just take a hose to the car and the paint should come right off. If not just get a bucket of car soap and a mitt and wash away. I used to play on a semi pro team and have tons of experience with getting it off of different objects

Most people call that area the Quarter Panel and not a rear fender *shrug* just saying.

Anyways that sucks but like others said it should wash off easily as they are water base. Tell us how it turns out

paintballs just wash off and dont leave stains if the are washed off withing a day or so, all paintballs now are water soluable so some warm water should do the trick and a quick wash to make sure its all off

Just talk **** to them everytime you see the little border jumpers. Be like "wheres the tacos at" or "wheres your green card at dirty mexican" Put signs on your T/A sayin border patrol, im sure they'll run and hide when they see that. or better yet, get one of them plastic toy badges have your buddy roll up, and tell them that the border patrol found them and that there being deported back to mexico, Or the ghetto, witch ever.

I would try to rile them up but not do anything to them and then hide with a camera near your car and catch them in the act.
