Road Paint on new car

[kbrunlees]

So the wife comes to her brand new Toyota parked on the road by westmount, only to find that the city has painted bicycle symbol on the road. In doing so they spattered paint on to the bumper of her car. This stuff is thick, does anyone know how to get rid of it? We are sending a complaint form to the city, not sure how much good that will do us. What idiot paints under a car??

I hit the new lines painted on hwy 2 going from edmo to banff one weekend. I used gasoline while it was wet, nothing takes it off while dry

Also another place I go is Carstar Express on 3825 - 99th Street Northwest talk to Aaron. Hopefully between one of the two you can get advice/help.

Brake Kleen, varsol, or gas. I'm not sure if these will damage your actual paint/finish or not, but I've used them to remove paint and tar from a chrome bumper before. If you keep rubbing, it eventually dissolves the spots.

A clay bar will take off overspray, tar, bugs, whatever. Crappy Tire sells the kits for like $20.

Won't hurt modern paint

The problem is that is it on the flat black plastic bumper, and according to my research, that is the worst place to get paint on. But thanks for your input.

Woodys Rv has a new product for tar and stuff on Rv works great! Give it a go

Oven Cleaner. Wont hurt sealed surfaces or paints with clear ect but will take off most all other paints.

Hopefully you documented the damage, send the city the bill. If they are willing to pay for pothole damage then this should be pretty obviously something that they should cover.
But then again it is the city....

 

[kbrunlees]

That is what we are doing, however did you know that if a rotten light standard falls on your car the city will NOT pay for the damages.

Man that would suck hind t*t!
What are you doing up at 6:30 on a holiday anyway Kelly?
You should be sleeping with images of floating over impassable stretches of skeg!

Lacquer thinner will do it and not damage the paint.
