Quote HistoryQuoted: That fuckin sucks. I remember accidentally hitting a freshly painted yellow line in the middle of the street long ago. That yellow paint absolutely fucked up my brand new Blazer. Saying it was a PITA to try to get at least some of it off is an understatement. That shit is like epoxy paint or something. I came over a hill with a sweeping left hand turn Fuckers were striping the centerline with no signs or flag men. I was riding my BMWR1200GSA at a spirited speed. My only option was to cross the line. I still find specks of yellow paint after 2 years and many many details later..

Quote HistoryQuoted: 50/50 mix of paint thinner and a finesse polishing compound. Follow up with wax. I went to a paint store a few years ago and asked for some finesse compound. They were old enough to remember what it was, and tell me I was old too. No longer made. I did use oven cleaner to remove a tasteless mural off the bow of a boat one time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As someone who owes nothing on my 4 cars (2 of them less than 30k miles) and takes care of their possessions, me. Meh, it’s a car. You’ll just catch a rock on the highway that leaves a giant scratch in your paint anyways. |

Light power washing then clay bar and polish. Never dry rub paint with anything. Pressurized water and lubrication are your friend.

chances are its water based. Use denatured alcohol to clean (if you do it yourself)

Happened to me once, some fuckface spilled a five gallon pail of white paint in the road.
You gotta use a clay bar. |

Here is a screen shot of one spot from google street view, can't remember where the other spots were. It seemed strange that they all happened around the same time.  Attached File |

Lacquer thinner, seriously. When I was in high school I worked at a car detail shop. We did road tar and over spray removal. Charged hundreds for it and all we did was wipe it down with lacquer thinner.
Just wipe it off with a rag soaked in it |

40 grit flap disc on an angle grinder should do.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Spill a gallon of paint thinner in the road and drive through it. Went ahead and tried this. Did not work. Think I needed 4 more gallons of thinner since the pair was in a 5 gallon bucket. Will try again with 5 gallons of thinner tonight and update tomorrow. |
