X2. I had to laugh at the comments about how he ruined his paint job. Unless the vehicle was in bad shape before, you normally can get spray paint off pretty easily. I've seen guys buff out spray paint by hand with a clay bar or a cleaner wax. Just about any detailer worth their weight can remove it quickly with their pro tools and chemicals. I suspect this guy knew what he was doing before he started spraying.

The bottom line is the guy is probably an *******, and was just annoyed with the effects of active fuel management (cylinder deactivation) or just one of those whose mantra is everything is always the fault of others. You have all kinds. My brother in law who is an independent mechanic did a 4 wheel brake job on a 1996 F150, and two weeks later the guy threw a rod through the side of the block. The idiot blamed it on the brake job, and took him to small claims court lol. I sat in for the entertainment value, the local magistrate was almost in tears laughing at the moron while tossing it out.

Itโs easier than you think to remove spray paint from a vehicle without damaging the factory paint. He got what he wanted. GM took notice and got a hold of him and are working on a solution. Good for him!

It may come off easily, but then again it may not. It depends on the paint used, and a whole host of other factors. In any case you're taking clear coat with it and with factory paint you don't have much to give up. A trained eye will always be able to see where it was buffed out. He'll probably burn through the clear and that will be GMs fault also lol.
His truck is a 2015 and according to the article he has had it back at the dealer numerous times. Why did he not take it lemon law? From what I have read Texas has one of the best lemon laws in the US, and it's geared more to the buyer and not the manufacturer as most are.
