white paint on black car.

[Brandon DeFeo]

This morning my neighbor must have set out some house paint for the garbage man(illegal). The garbage man proceeded to spill the paint on the street. I then managed to drive right thru it. Got to work and checked out the damage. White paint on body panels, wheel wells and tires. I'm assuming it's latex paint. Won't be able to work on it for at least nine hours. I did a search and found that clay and lots of lube will remove it from painted surfaces. The wheel wells will be more of a challenge I suspect. My biggest concern is paint on the textured plastic trim pieces. Any advice?

White latex paint all over your beautiful Taurus? Oh my God....



I'd prolly try the usual suspects on the trim. Don't be afraid to bust out the acetone or MEK. Hopefully it will all come out of the textured areas.



Also check out Lowes and HD. I'm guessing they sell a latex paint remover product.

Good luck. Let us know how things go for you.
