Why can’t a Florida Man find a Pay n’ Spray when he needs one? Reinier Lazaro Perez and Dayanly Cutino Gonzalez were spotted behind the Days Inn in Palm Coast Florida. They were spray painting a Peterbilt semi-tractor in the back corner of the parking lot. The hotel is located just off I95, we’ll get back to that. Someone (who obviously can’t mind they own business) thought that someone spray painting a semi truck in the parking lot of a hotel was suspicious. So they called the cops. When Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived the two dropped the cans took off running along Southbound I95. That’s your escape plan?
Dayanly clearly hadn’t been doing her cardio and was quickly captured. Reinier managed to hide in the woods for about 2 hours before they found him.
The Peterbilt semi-tractor had been stolen just hours earlier from Columbia County, Florida.
The recovered semi-tractor is valued at $280,000. The semi-tractor’s original color is pink (really). The pair were in the process of spray painting the stolen semi-tractor red to conceal its original color when deputies arrived. Makes sense. I’m actually impressed with how good their paint job was coming along. They even took the time to tape it off. The semi-tractor’s GPS had been disabled and removed but was found nearby in the woods.

Did a nice job taping around the headlights. Nice work on the trim. Kept the chrome clean. Can’t be an easy job when you’re in a hurry.
Good choice of paint. Long lasting

You can’t be using cheap paint when you’re doing long hauls. This wasn’t just meant for an escape, they were clearly planning to keep it this color. I use the same brand, for other reasons, of course.
