Don't be too frustrated. Is house paint or touchup paint? That messed up because paint stick. Try bringing it to the shop and ask what they can do.

Hopefully I will have an article written tonight or tomorrow, about how to wet sand your car.

[abdoman]

I would not wet sand your car until you try a clay bar. A clay bar will remove paint overspray, especially latex paints. I've used a clay bar to remove paint. It's takes a lot of elbow grease, but you can really screw up your paint job if you don't wet sand properly.

If it's road striping paint (I assumed it was) a clay bar will not remove it. Wetsanding will, but it will also remove too much clearcoat around the paint specs. You would need to use something like "Ronsonol" lighter fluid, or "WD40". The WD40 might work, might not. The lighter fluid will work. You will need to at least buff out the clear after using the lighter fluid. If you scrub the area with the lighter fluid, you will ruin the clearcoat. The reason that I suggestedcwetsanding, is after you use the lighter fluid, wetsanding will thin the clearcoat, and give it a nice slick look.

I also understand if you wouldn't want to wetsand it. Most people are not willing to take sandpaper to a new car.

Just my $0.02

Should have found the party responsible and shown them the damage. May still not be too late.

If it were my car I'd try clay bar or cleaner wax. If that doesn't work take it to a body shop that you trust.

A few years ago my dad was following a painters truck on the freeway and a 5 gallon bucket of bright blue house paint fell off the truck and exploded in front of him. His truck was COVERED in bright blue paint.

We tried everything but ended up using nail polish remover to get the blue paint off without doing any visable damage to the white paint underneith.

Sorry to hear about your car. I'd be PISSED!!

[gwoods]

You can try a spray on bug and tar remover too! Hopefully you have enough wax on your car that the spilled paint can't really bond to your cars paint?

The longer you wait the harder it will be to get off.

Wet sanding is a last resort.... I wouldn't try that unless you were sure you had tried everything else and just couldn't live with the result. Be prepared to have the car repainted before you attempt to save the original paint job by wet sanding.

lol omg, dealership. lol omg, $350.

Back at school, some POS decide to take white spray paint on my green car. They went in a circle on my back bumper, across the license plate. I was furious for several minutes.

Then, I went out and bought some Mineral Spirits. I used a sink sponge and mineral spirits for most of it and only used the scrubby part of the sponge on the thicker parts.

Just don't let the paint cure and you're better off.

$8 later my car looked fine.
