Need help fast!!!!!!!!!!!ahhhhhh

Ok so myself and a co-worker got into a bit of an arguement. Long story short it was nothing major so I thought, he apparently didn't feel that way. He poured a whole can of PVC pipe primer all over my front bumper that I had just painted a few months back. PVC pipe primer is basically an acetone that will eat paint. Well it bubbled and ate away alot of the paint now it is all spotted and looks like hell. I tried sanding it down with 320 grit and stripping the rest of the paint off but it's not working. I still get high and low spots on the paint. What the hell do I do now. What's the most agressive grit I can use to even out the old paint underneath???? I have possibly 2 new bumpers coming but they are still a few weeks away from actually getting here. This bumper I had painted but it didn't really look the way I wanted it too, it came out ok but not perfect. I have a very nice bumper coming from a member here but I won't have it for at least a week and I'm trying to buy another bumper that is for the winter off another member also not getting here any time soon. What do I do now just to make my bumper look somewhat normal or at least smooth? I hope to sand and prime it to sell in the future but I can't if it looks like hell

Agreed, when arguing with another man, never mess with his woman, kids, extended family, his house and lastly, his car....

What kind of argument did you get in to with him, and how old is he? I mean, seriously.

Have you thought about taking it to your supervisor to get him fired or at least have his wages garnished to pay for the repair cost to your car?

I'm guessing this was one of those things that you started, or at a minimum you did something that wasn't probably of the highest ethics either, or else you would have been doing what I suggested already.

I may be sum what ''hood'' but i woulda decked him with a long pipe..

That probaly wouldnt be the best bet...but satisfaction would be key.

And btw 250 grit on the face wouldnt do much lol. Now 36 grit thats like rocks on paper. go to town with that!

No. That's what's wrong with America. Everyone is always looking to sue someone else. Handle it like men instead.

OK it's a looooong story. I work at a plumbing company and we play alot of pranks on each other. Well I decided I would play one on him. This is gross but I'll tell it because you'll get the idea somewhat of what went down. So anyway I pissed in a bucket and hid it in his truck and I used picture text message to play scavenger hunt with him. I thought it was a great idea he didn't, because when he found it he accidentally kicked it over and made a mess of the truck. This prank wasn't half as bad as some of the others but it just got out of hand. He was pissed and yelled at me then after work he poured the primer on the bumper. He knew I was getting a new bumper anyway that's why he did it. It's all childishness I know but sometimes shops get alittle boring and you know. I feel that since this all has gone too far I would renounce this type of behavior and fix the bumper as a half punishment to myself. He has since apologized and offered any help he can even $$.

PS he's 35 i'm 29 and I know this was childish, immature, and stupid it was just a silly thing.
