Hi guys.. coming to work this morning .. minding my own business and watchin the slippy roads and the pickup two cars infront decides that the industrial size tub of white gloss paint on the back of it needs to desposed of.. falls off the back and explodes all over the road which i then have to drive through cause i havent got enough time to avoid it!! i should now change my profile to siverstone with white flecks... car is covered in the stuff!!! just hope my Boss lets me shoot out for an hour to get it cleaned off or i could be in trouble... god im mad!! .. looks like iv got my white christmas!!!

 

At least if its Gloss it will take hours to set this weather. So you need to get it off whilst its still soft. I have had this problem many years ago. What I did was to get some white spirit on a cloth and go over the area and take the paint off. After you will need to wash the car with some neutral detergent and then get some polish on.

If you can do this you should be ok and shouldn't damage the paint on the car.

Good luck

Dave

 

Cheers ... my boss is being an arse... wont let me go out... just spent 20mins in the car park with a bucket of soapy water and a fist full on hand towels!! not happy ... got most of it off but i reckon ill be looking at some new arch liners by the end of the day!! all off the bodywork tho and thoroughly rinsed off... looks like iv got white wall tyres!!

 

The liners and tyres sound expensive - is this an insurance job or maybe the police know who dropped the paint and you can claim from them?

 

You can alway paint the inner liners with a matt black paint, thats not a problem. If you do find any paint on the body at a later date you can follow the same procedure.
