For reasons unknown to me, I've been told my E30 has been given a nice dousing of brake fluid/paintstripper. Unfortunately I'm 140 miles away at uni.
I don't have much idea into the damage that brake fluid can do, how long would it have to be on the car to cause an damage to the paint?
And what does the damage look like?

Needless to say, I am very pissed off. furious

Cheers

The paintwork is all bubbled up all over the bonnet, some has gone dripped down onto the arches.


How much would it cost to respray a bonnet?

Yeah I figured it must have been stripper when I saw the photos. When I got told about what had happened to the car my mate said it was probably brake fluid. Apparently down my street about 10 other cars have got done.

I honestly believe corporal punishment should be bought back into force for these rotten wastes of life.
