A MAN has admitted that he sprayed bright pink paint all over his own car in Worcester city centre as part of a publicity stunt.
Ry Tombs shared a video of a man in a grey hoodie, scrawling pink spray paint all over the silver BMW, while it was parked in a taxi rank in Cathedral Square on Friday morning (July 10).
Vulgar language, appearing to criticise the driver of the vehicle, appeared in neon paint on the bonnet, as well as on the sides and windows of the car.

In the second part of the video, shared on his social media pages, Mr Tombs stands in front of the now-clean car, as a man walks behind him rattling a spray paint can.
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everybody who shared, commented and liked our post, trying to find the culprit, who has sprayed our M3,” he told followers.

“It’s been very disappointing that that has happened to us in Worcester, where we are based, here at Pyramid Car Care.
“If you’ve got any information, please let us know and we’ll see you soon.”
Throughout the video, Mr Tombs has a spot of pink paint on his t-shirt and, as he lifts his hands at the end, they can be seen covered in pink paint.
