Ran over some paint today and it's in the wheel wells...didn't realize it until I got back home, What's the best way to remove it?
Someone has suggested using gas... any other ideas? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i268.photobucket.com-12871-1332289758.1.jpg) |

Wondering if there is a chemical that can soften this stuff up? |

ill never forget a kid back in high school had a nice black vette and ran over some yellow paint. All over the side ! Well a few years ago a guy i worked with did that too and he had a meguires or mothers product that was designed specificly for that type of thing he bought it at a regular auto parts store like auto zone. I dont know how well it would work on the underside but id just spray some undercoating over it if its just in the wheel wells

You might want to call the county, raise a little hell, and demand to find out what they will provide (or suggest) to remove it. Can't hurt anything, might yield an answer, and will probably make you feel a little better.
I had this happen on our old Mazda minivan. I took it to a detail shop long after it happened, and they were able to get it off the paint somehow, and I think they sprayed something on the plastic fender liners to hide the rest. |
