Well, I managed to hit some road paint somewhere. It's on the passenger side, so I don't know how long it's been there.

Anyway, here's a pic. It's like this behind the front wheel, too. Any ideas how to get it off?

Thanks,
Adam

Nevermind...it's coming off. I'm using some Meguiar's Scratch-X and my fingernails... :)

It's a little tedious, but coming off okay.

My mom drove through a gallon of house paint in her jeep... Brown house paint all the way down the side of her car...

First I tried pressure washer...

Then I tried Fingernail...

Then I tried scratch X...

Then I tried clay bar...

Then I tried Sap and Tar remover...

The I tried paint scraper...

Then I tried Paint thinner...

Then I tried razor blade...

The razor blade was the only thing that worked... I had to do it VERY carefully... Took on big scuff out, filled it with touch up, and we sold the car... Took so much work! Weeks of time...

Clay should help with that. You might have to go over it for quite awhile, but it should work. I'd use that before resorting to scratch-x, at least to clean up as much as possible for resorting to the abrasive stuff.

Scratch X is good for cleaning up the aftermath though......
