Default Vandalized Testarossa, any idea on the cost for repair?

I have had this 1991 TR for a couple of months, but it was vandalized this weekend with a couple of other of my cars. The other two had no full coverage insurance. It is Latex and Oil Base household paint, and it is everywhere.. The chasis is covered, the wiring is covered, the timing covers and accessories are covered, it is behind all the mouldings and weatherstrips.

I have a meeting with the insurance adjustor tomorrow, and they are wanting to settle it out. I am looking for anyone that my have a realistic idea of what the actual damage may be.. I was told that the engine bay and chasis needed to be disassembled rather that washed out. If washed out with solvents and water, you may flood alot of the components and electrical connections. And that will only cause problems down the line.

This car has 28,000 miles and is a great driver.. I would like it to be taken care of correctly.

Looks like the work of an X wife OR girlfriend.... what man would be caught walking around with PINK / YELLOW paint!
I feel for you mate, hope this gets resolved to your satisfaction,that's a massive hassle removing that paint off it.

The sad thing is, no one was walking around with the paint. I removed the paint and other materials from my garage for disposal. Someone got a hold of it and used my own materials against me..

That is horrible! What kind of animal would do such a thing? I hope your insurance sorts you out, it will be very expensive to fix properly for sure. I am also hoping the Police dusted the paint cans for prints. Should have been easy to get some off it.
