Chewie Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Have you driven by a road works or while road markings were painted? A girl at work did and there was nothing in our engineering/R & D/test labs that could get the stuff off without dissolving the car. It was muscle power and elbow grease. Sorry.

i-macca Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I had this on my car when my neighbour painted his house, so nice of him. Light blue dots all over one side. I managed to use an old credit card and very carefully lifted most of them off. Some seemed more stuck than others though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 the oldman has got some on his BM. just behind the wheels so im guessin his is the paint from road markings. still not got them off but will give the credit card a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I have had three black cars in the past and for some strange reason i have found little white specks of paint all over them. Its really weird as i dont work near or drive past anywhere for this to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiversteve Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I had this on my car when my neighbour painted his house, so nice of him. Light blue dots all over one side. I managed to use an old credit card and very carefully lifted most of them off. Some seemed more stuck than others though I had this from the neighbours as well. Threatened to sue his decorator, who paid for a professional clean up. PS. Didnt like the neighbours and he was only tarting the house before he sold it. Decorator was from out of town so I wasnt too worried about repercussions. BUT the only car in the drive was a Sierra, so not too worried if it got vandalised. Nothing happened though.
