A Restore Passenger Rail protestor is standing by the group's decision to spray-paint a luxury Wellington car dealership.

Three protestors threw paint at the Gazley Motor Group building on Cambridge Terrace and glued themselves to the footpath.

The trio were subsequently arrested and charges are being considered.

Spokesperson James Cockle claims the luxury cars sold by the dealership are a symbol of excess and wealth inequality impacting this country.

"It correlates directly to the damage that's being done to our planet. We're sending a strong message to the New Zealand people- let's stand up against luxury emissions and reign in the excesses of the mega-rich."
