Paint Removal ?

Has anyone ever drove into a patch of paint that they use to mark the lines on the highway ?

I have, and it is all over the P5 and my car is Black and the paint is strange Tan color

Any way i can remove this without damaging the factory black paint ?

You might try contacting the street department of the city that you got paint from. I have heard of cities that will clean the cars of people who complain about stuff like crack filling tar, asphalt sealer, and paint. You have to have exact location, time, and date. Otherwise try paint thinner before it gets really hard. Good luck.

Clay bars are supposed to be able to help remove paint overspray. Might help in your case...Give that a try.

My mom did the same with her car, and although I hate to say it and there's prob. a better way, I just picked at it with my fingernail and it all came off.
