I drove through paint...

[warpig12354]

So apparently I drove through some grey paint. I tried claybarring it with some success but was unable to get it all off... Any help is appreciated on how to get the rest off. Yes, I'm aware my wheel wells/side skirts are dirty. Onto the pics...

Damn that was quick, i'll try that tomorow.

You will probably inducing marring though, but Seer could probably provide some better info than I.

try a heavy polishing compound, then repolish it, but that looks nasty. May need to sand.

I guess now is the time to learn how to wet sand. Thanks.

Is that safe on car paint?

Bug and tar remover

I'll give that a try.

You'll be fine with thinner, your not putting it on the paint anyway. It may cause the clear coat to haze but your going to buff it after anyways right?

I'll add this to the to do list as well.

Is that cement paint? If so, I swear I've seen a product just for removing it from cars, lal.

EDIT: Found it.
No idea how well it works but it is made to be paint safe.

I dont think it's cement, I hope not anyways lol

Lacquer Thinner is a guaranteed fix, it will only hurt the paint if the paint still isn't completely cured. Polishing should also work but takes time.

THIS. You WILL need to polish after you get the paint off. At least in my experience, it left a haze. Not sure if it was due to the thinner or me scrubbing the shit out of the car lol.

Either way, you're not SOL, it'll come off with some elbow grease.

good suggestions, lacquer thinner is the cheaper method.

It honestly looks more like road tar than paint. Almost like the tar patch they use to fill the cracks in the asphalt.

Except for what he has on his car lighter than any tar I've ever seen on a car, at least all the tar I've ever seen for road/roofing.
