Spray-painted bike - please help

[BAD DAD]

Not sure if this is relevent but maybe have a talk to your insurance company. Might not cost you anything.

Thanks for the advice will try solvent but am worried about the unpainted stuff
and in answer to your question owl a dumb caretaker spray painting on a windy day my bike was parked around the corner grrrr

That sucks pearlygirl!

I'd be making an insurance claim and giving all the relevant details etc. Surely the caretaker's employer would have public liability insurance?

In all seriousness , pearlygirl , I would be finding out who this caretakers boss is and Telling him that your bike has been damaged by his employee. Take the bike to your insurance co and make a claim and have the damage assessed. When you go to see them get ready to be fobbed off. Make sure you tell them ( several times ) that you want it sorted properly. If your really cunning you may be able to buy any parts that have been replaced back off them for a song ( what are they going to do with them ?). Above all dont back down ( you can take a "support person " with you ), somebody , and you know who it is , has damaged your kit and should be responcible
good luck

If it were me, i would try a "clay bar". They work great for removing over-spray.

Well done. Would have suggested the same. Those guys have some awesome products. Even got some anti fog which works a treat too.

"Touch-Up Guys" have been pretty successful at sorting a couple of problems for me. They'll come to you and do a pretty good job at a very reasonable price.

I have been recommended a product from the local Suzuki dealer ship- Paint Doctor from Repco it has worked really well on paint work but still need to work on other surfaces thanks for all for advice
Paint Doctor hard work but there are "issues" with the "caretaker problem" therefore am happy to work on it
