That would be my fear, too.

Appears that brake fluid is VERY bad for car paint.

Perhaps this needs to spread like an urban legend...let some drivers fear retaliation for their misdeeds. Don't F with a cyclist--you never know if he/she could be packing brake fluid. Heck, I know of a guy who rides with a gun. He's not particularly popular for obvious reasons, but if more motorists thought that THEIR lives or property could be at risk if they mess with the wrong cyclist, then maybe they'd be a bit better behaved while navigating their multi-ton weapons.
