	There should be no need to "sue" them.  Most commercial painting
	firms (buildings, bridges and the like) expect to pay for paint
	removal on cars, boats, trucks, etc. that have been accidentally
	"redecorated" by their efforts.  Contact the firm that was doing
	to painting, and if that fails, try your local Better Business
	Bureau.
