Long story short I managed to COMPLETELY coat both sides of my dually with the paint that vdot uses for the white/yellow lines while driving across windy gap mtn yesterday. Already talked to the ins co (boy, they were happy ) and theyre sending an adjuster out but before I cough up the deductable has anyone successfully got vdot to cover any costs incurred from getting that crap on their vehicle? Id much rather let vdot cover the deductable but Im not getting my hopes up.

Long version...
Had to go to Burnt Chimney yesterday and a short cut to windy gap mt is Coopers cove rd. When I pulled out onto windy gap I didnt notice that the line paint was about 45 seconds old... no cones, no signs, no nothing. Needless to say I enjoy windy gaps winding road so Im hitting the curves fairly hard using ALL of the lane (read driving on wet paint a LOT) with still no clue that the paint is wet...until Im cooking around a nice left hander and bout hit the truck applying the paint in the ass. I clamp down on the brakes since I can see a huge cloud of paint coming off the back of the truck and slow down to a crawl to put some distance between me and the paint truck. It doesnt matter at this point since I rolled down my window and looked at the drivers side of the truck which is coated with yellow paint off the front tire. The paint truck quits applying the paint at the beginning of a straight piece of raod, pulls off, and the driver motions me by so I can go around. After passing the paint truck I make it about a mile when I run into vdot blocking traffic going the other way towards roanoke then it clicks that undoubtedly they had traffic blocked coming from roanoke before coopers cove where I turned onto windy gap. Needless to say Im just a little pissed off since the paint on my dually is only 3yrs old (stripped to bare metal then 4 coats of Sikkens base/clear). Would it have been too much damn trouble to put a vdot guy at the end of coopers cover or better yet how bout a few cones or maybe a sign or two saying "WET FUCKING PAINT...dont drive on the shit!".

Anyone know whos phone at the local vdot to ring about this who isnt a moron? Waste of time (<gets my vote)? You fucked up so deal with it?

Discuss please.
