GooGone?

I thought about that too. I’ll try that. Thanks.

You may need to wet sand and buff that paint off.

It actually comes off easy with the edge of a card and some Vaseline and light scrape. Read about that online btw and someone’s suggestion.

Found this, hope it helps. That paint is usually thermo plastic.




PROCEDURES FOR REMOVING ROAD PAINT FROM CARS

As soon as possible after getting road stripe paint on any vehicle wash the vehicle at a pressure car wash. Doing this should loosen and remove most of the paint unless it has dried for more than a day.

If the pressure car wash does not remove the road stripe paint, allow the water to dry and then spray the residue with WD-40 and allow the WD-40 to stay on the area for 1-2 hours and then rewash the vehicle. The WD-40 usually softens the road striping paint without hurting the vehicle finish. If there is a heavy concentration of paint the procedure can be repeated.
For paint that has dried for several days or very heavy accumulations, apply a generous coating of petroleum jelly (vaseline) to the dried road striping paint. Allow it to stay on for 8 to 12 hours to soften the paint and then take the vehicle to a pressure car wash and wash it. This should remove most of the road striping paint. If necessary, repeat the procedure.
DO NOT SCRUB THE FINISH WITH A SOLVENT OR SCOURING CLEANSER!!!! THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.

After cleaning the road striping paint away apply a good coat of car wax to the vehicle’s finish. The wax should remove any lasting signs of the road striping paint.
Paint removal from wheel wells can be very difficult because they are normally a flat finish. Apply a liberal coating of vaseline to the area and leave it on for several days and then pressure wash.

Applying an alcohol like rubbing alcohol to the area in the wheel well may also help soften and remove any residue left after the vaseline procedure is completed. Again DO NOT SCRUB! Just apply with a very wetted rag or sponge. Remember that alcohol is flammable so please be careful.

Thank you

@JohnnyGT sent me something similar to this too. And @shogun32 suggested something as well.

Just wanted to show my fuck up to everyone and I learned a valuable lesson - make sure you always avoid stuff on the road.

Today i think i got to the bottom of an annoying squeaking noise i've had for two days since i changed my rear tires. I just put a little bit of lube on all of my rear suspension components and wiped everything down. Seems the squeak has gone away but i dont really know what it was that was squeaking

Not always. You wouldn't believe the honks, screams and fingers I got backing up to the previous exit on a freeway when there was no way to drive around a spill.

 

[shogun32]

This stuff is great and the first thing I thought of.

except it's a solvent and not clear-coat safe. Not uncommon for it to haze the heck out of stuff. Now on raw metal, it's a swipe and done.

This may sound odd but I have removed paint overspray with WD40. its worth a try and it wont hurt anything if it is successful , and wont hurt anything if it is not.

My mind was blown by the concept of sucking at sucking!

Ok guys so I’m a happy woman now. @JohnnyGT and I went to the car wash and now it’s clean paint came off with some wd40 that we sprayed before going to the car wash, pressure washed helped a little but then I sprayed goo gone and we let it sit a little and pressure washed helped a lot. So yeah

[EmCel]

GooGone?

Thanks for the recommendation… helped a lot.

@sox3, thank you as well.

It looked like a paint bomb went off underneath the car.
