Police: Vandal spray paints ‘F--- Elon’ on 34 Tesla Cybertrucks in Fort Lauderdale - Lemmy.World

Police said 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks were damaged. The owner parked the exotic cars in a parking lot in Fort Lauderdale.  In an apparent vendetta against Elon Musk, a vandal, or vandals spray-painted an expletive and his name — “F— Elon” — on the ostentatious electric trucks starting at over $80,000 [https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/cybertruck] each.  “It was just one row and then it was a second row, and then a third row and a fourth row,” Adam Docktor, who works nearby, said.

The spray paint on those was about as weather resistant as a the “stainless” steel

Just for info, spray paint you buy in shops now is shit because it’s basically water based

Under no circumstances should you search online for “2K” spray paint as it’s a two part paint, almost like epoxy resin and would be almost impossible to remove from a shitty pile of junk

If i remember correctly the old spray paint is banned in a bunch of places because of graffiti.

Also worth noting: 2K is incredibly toxic and regular paint filter masks are useless for preventing it from getting into your lungs. It’s supposed to be used while wearing positive pressure ventilated PPE.

Probably not the best choice for redecoration on the move.
