    His car was covered in paint, this is not just a normal quick buff up.


    He did not use the word covered, but if it was a serious splash, he should have got three quotes, gone through his own insurance and got them to sort it out.
    The advice for a splash and covered will be very different, and what type of paint. Old or water based is the most likely.

    You would sue the landlord, the person who hired this crew.

    You can take them to court. If you're loose in court you will probably lose the case.

    You need to establish who the painters are and who their insurer is, then claim from them. If that goes nowhere, you can take it to a small claims court.
    No sh*t Sherlock!

    Errr! It was a poke at the OP's use of loose when they meant lose.

    It's only paint. Extra paint means more protection.
