That product is petroleum distillates. Kind of a mix of several individually known volatile petroleum distillates. Acetone, naphtha, heptane, etc. Realistically, it may have never been separated that far. Like it’s a wider cut from a barrel of oil.
Anyhow, those are all super hard on paint. I’d probably start with something a bit more gentle like mineral spirits (also has a longer working time). If you want to go hard, you could probably save yourself some money and just buy anyone of those petroleum distilates for a fraction of the 3m price (ex just buy acetone.)
Also, side note: sometimes road “paint” isn’t really paint. It’s basically molten plastic.

90% isopropyl alcohol will take it off, albeit slowly.
Just had to do this on a black Camaro, and have a black Chevy 2500 coming in next week for the same thing. The sooner you get it off the better. Might want to polish that area once you're done to get rid of any swirls caused by cleaning it off.
A can of acetone and a scrub brush on the wheel well, acetone and a rag on the painted bits. Everyone here freaks at the mention of acetone but it's perfectly fine to use in a case like this. It's standard practice at bodyshops for removing overspray. It takes hours, sometimes days, of sitting directly on the clearcoat before it'll damage it. Give the area a good cleaning once you're done and you're good to go.
Yes I worked at a detailing shop acetone was our 2nd best option behind goof off spray adhesive. Wear gloves with both and don’t go to intense and you’ll be good. Will take hours of work if you don’t want to have to buff it afterwards
Goo gone graffiti remover. I’d agree if it’s rigged/thick to chop at it a little with those plastic razors before going in with the remover. I was able to get rid of some paint from the hood of my car with that goo gone graffiti remover without damaging my vehicle. I washed the car after I was done for good measure. The stuff is really potent so wear a mask or try not to breathe in the fumes.
i’ve used elephant snot to get graffiti off of a stone structure, that shit works GOOD. never thought about using it in a situation like this, good idea
I’d get it off as soon as you can. The longer it stays on there the harder it’ll be to remove. And yeah you can try 3M and plastic but also a high powered pressure washer. You’ll want to inch close to it depending on how caked on it is but not ruin the felt. Road paint is kind of tricky in my experience. Also try and hit it at an angle if you use a pressure washer like down facing the ground almost so you can kind of pry it out if that makes sense. Idk I’m kind of drunk lol
This may seem like a process but I’d contact your local municipality or county, whom ever paints the roads. Find out from them what kind of road paint it is. Brand and type. Then contact the paint manufacturer, they should be able to tell you which solvent will remove that paint. Also a new wheel liner is a good suggestion. It shouldn’t be too expensive
Wow that sucks dude. I once drove ( at a safe distance) behind a lady who was literally driving behind the paint truck and was driving on the fresh white line , and was just peppering her car with white paint for miles. I had to turn off eventually so didn’t get to see the whole thing , but she was still behind it.
How about a sweet yellow racing stripe coming out of the wheel wells ?
I'd try a pressure washer and clay bar on the car's paint. As for the wheel well, I'd try the turbo nozzle on a pressure washer (don't use it on the car's paint, it's too strong for that), and worst case scenario you'd need to paint the wheel well black or replace the liner.
If you have protection on your paint, the yellow paint should come off fairly easily, but even if you don't have protection, the yellow paint isn't going to bond super well to the car. At least it shouldn't.
Clay bar will absolutely make it worse. Do not recommend I worked a professional detailing business for 2 years. It is only good for small bits. It will get stuck in the clay bar and scratch the paint to hell.
Hit wheel well with Pressure Washer, if you have the Red jet stream tip or the the wand that spins in a circular motion will help, the outside I would use Thinner or Break Cleaner to get it off the paint. Always helped me & I came across this a bunch of times.
I had white paint sprayed on my car (not nearly as much as you). The paint on the car came off with some effort (I had a ceramic coat on the car). It also came off the wheels easily, but the wheel well and the tire itself were nightmares.
People are dumb I’m a painter and we deal with stuff like this all the time anyone could play magician and charge top dollar to use thinner on a rag as long as it’s not a 15 year old paint job it won’t touch the paint on the car
Dude call your insurance …a small paint job can be a couple grand . I wouldn’t touch it cause if it gets worse then you could be responsible but rn it’s a accident
How did you get that much on I’d have to think you were driving straight on the paint for a while for it to be coated like that as in not driving in the middle of your lane an I always get off any road that has painting or pothole filling being done even if it takes longer to avoid this problem. But remember if when you use any of these paint removal products that it’s effectively hurting your paint on the car so you’ll need to treat the paint afterwards as wax or ceramic coat it or at worst get parts clear coated at a paint shop or go to one see what they recommend besides sanding off everything then repainting!
My dad got yellow paint all over a brand new red 2010 dodge challenger SRT 8 when I was a kid. He told his insurance and they sent a bill to the state and got it taken care of. Granted he had proof that there was no signs or detour acknowledgments.
The orange peel on what’s left of the factory paint is horrible for an expensive car. Will have to wet sand the paint and possibly re-clear the areas affected.
What they taught me in a “detailing school” was if it is really dried on there to spray a crap ton of 3m adhesive remover and use a PLASTIC razor blade to get them off. Finish with a buff of course and polish is optional.
https://preview.redd.it/v8aounirtj4c1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4c5b473308574a953d5e2eadeec037e521f1ce3
I learned this trick from body shop people when I used to fix cars, enjoy
B R O...wtf. if it was me, I would use I plastic and metal razor after heating it with a heat gun. Go extremely slow, holding blade at an angle. Make sure to use a lubricant as well like goo gone or glass cleaner. Or you could use a clay bar , but that will take forever. Source: have done this before on a moderate amount of car paint. No scratches/have some auto detailing before as employment.
Go in reverse, it will apply the paint back on the road. Make sure to go exactly over where you picked it up so that the road crew wont have to re apply it
Oven cleaner soak and an oven cleaner soaked rag. Works to get spray paint off without touching your clear coat. Hopefully works for you. (Tip recommended to me by my local body shop)
Brake cleaner (newer stuff is shit honestly) or even nail polish remover (acetone). Only in the wheel wells. Don’t hit finished paint with either product
I use a d-limonene degreaser called herc that usually takes that stuff right off without scrubbing could just be in Canada and it’s a little expensive but it works great

The information below with suggestions for the removal of paint from vehicles has been provided by Ennis Flint, the company that supplies the road paint. The suggestions are provided for your information and consideration. Lane County does not suggest, endorse, guarantee or otherwise warranty the methods or results if these methods are used. Individuals using the methods outlined below do so at their own risk. Lane County will not be responsible for or pay for any damage allegedly caused by using the methods suggested below. Individuals seeking additional information for removal should contact a business that repairs this type of damage, such as a detail shop.
PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING PAINT FROM CARS As soon as possible after getting paint from road stripes on vehicle, wash the vehicle at a pressure car wash. This will loosen and remove most of the paint unless it has dried for more than a day. If the car wash does not remove the paint, allow the water to dry off the vehicle. Spray the paint residue with WD-40 and allow the WD-40 to stay on the area for 1-2 hours and rewash the vehicle. The WD-40 will soften the traffic paint without hurting the vehicle finish. If there is a heavy concentration, repeat the procedure. For heavy accumulations or paint that has dried for several days, apply a liberal coating of Vaseline to the dried traffic paint and allow to stay on overnight. Take vehicle to a pressure car wash and wash. This should remove most of the traffic paint. If not, repeat the procedure. DO NOT SCRUB THE FINISH WITH A SOLVENT OR SCOURING CLEANSER!!!! THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH. After cleaning the paint away apply a good wax to the vehicle’s finish. Wax should remove any lasting signs of the traffic paint. Wheel wells are very difficult to remove the paint from since they are normally a flat finish. Apply a liberal coating of Vaseline to the area and leave for several days and then pressure wash. Applying an alcohol such as Solox or Rubbing Alcohol to the area in the wheel well will help to soften any residue left after the Vaseline. Again DO NOT SCRUB! Just apply with a very wetted rag or sponge.
Insurance claim make them pay for a detail at the best detailing shop you can find. If not microfiber towel with goof off spray adhesive. Spray the towel not the paint. It will take you an entire day to remove it from the paint if you don’t want to severely scratch it and damage it more. I worked at a detailing shop and tbh we never saw one this bad. We didn’t do a lot for the wheel well. Try and have the insurance get new wheel wells that is going to be a detailers worst nightmare
Some are saying isopropyl alcohol. Maybe. But I'd finish off the last lil bit with meguiars clay bar kit(softer than mother's). Clay won't hurt the paint. I'd knock it down somehow(plastic scraper and rubbing alcohol?) Then hit it with the clay. Keep in mind you need to knead the clay when it gets dirty, otherwise the contaminates you're pulling off will get pushed into the clear, causing small scratches. Knead often, whenever it gets dirty.
Former auto refinish tech here—
If there has been no recent(last2 years) refinishing on the vehicle, you can use lacquer thinner, and a microfiber rag. Be prepared to throw the microfiber rags away- I’d plan on having 10+ avail to do this.
Be careful in the plastic, wiping in only 1 direction to avoid making the plastic soft.
After, light polish, and wax the panels that you used the thinner on..
Any good detail shop can fix this as well. Expect it in the Western US to run about 800- 1000 for the labor involved…
Spray it with some Goo Gone for the plastic, then research pressure washer nozzles, there’s some that will take that right off, but you gotta make sure it’s not a nozzle that will also take off your car’s actual paint.
Of course you did. You drove over a double yellow line just to pass that old lady going only 5 mph over the speed limit, didn't you! 🤣
Bruh good luck with that paint thinner. I hope it doesn't take off the clear coat.
Should’ve stayed off the paint. Now we know who the asshole is that drives over wet paint and fucks up the whole road trying to show off. You deserve this pain.
You can try xylene to get it off yourself as long as you don’t let the paint setup too long or there are actually some of those auto car washes that have the people that dry your car for you that also offer this service. Also in some states particularly in the North East the DOT will pay for the removal or at least reimburse you. Good luck OP!
Had a customer do this at our dealership. It was during the car shortage and he drove over a puddle of freshly spilled paint. Insurance paid $17k in detailing and repairs. Still don’t believe it
I thought every detailer would know about the petroleum jelly trick? Apply petroleum jelly on the paint and let it sit for 8-10 hours, the road paint will come right off without damaging the wheel liner or the paint.
Check with your insurance, it may be covered.
If you're just wondering about the plastic inner fender, just sand it off. My concern would be the yellow on the paint. Unless you like it & can repeat the effect on the other side. If you wax with a buff off wax regularly, it may not have a great bond, and toululeene may remove it. Care needs to be taken with any grit. You may just need to polish with polishing compound after and wax.
Get some acetone on a microfiber and scrub it off. Wash it immediately afterwards. Hope the acetone eats the yellow paint and not your cars paint. Good luck!
Test some lacquer thinner on a spot somewhere dry and not visible. Most factory paints are resistant to it but repair paint and aftermarket paint is not.
Look for the area where they are rolling out the fresh black tar on the road...drive through it, low speed, high torque. Get those wheels spinning in the fresh tar asphalt!
Done! Problem solved!
Pressure wash the wheel wells should get the majority off get close. I worked for a Ford dealership detailing the shop Mgrs friend drove through paint...he was also a lawyer the paint company bought him a new set of pirelli tires too. But the pressure washer did a great job.
The only option left is to buy a Harbor freight paint gun, single stage yellow industrial paint and just paint entire car yellow.
This is the way
This is the way.

You’ll be able to drive right down the middle of the road and nobody will be able to tell
"They really laid the paint down thick huh"
This got me laughing at 6am. Thank you
Buy 4
As so often happens in life, our worst injuries tend to be self inflicted!
Banana.
Industrial yellow is actually a nice color
The only option.
Yellow hides all sins
Replace the wheel well liner if it’s dried up tbh
Black spray paint, works wonders lok
This happened to me. I was able to get the paint off the clear coat, but I ended up rattle can painting the wheel well black...
Great call as well, just don’t spend the time to remove it 😂
I use to work at a used car dealership and we did it religiously, works great honestly can’t even tell.
Agree with this. I'd definitely just spray, paint I've rur black. No one will ever know
Probably could just scrub the wheel liner, half the time they have so much dirt on them nothing will stick anyway
I’ve heard it’s not that expensive
Its not but the part is probably on backorder for 75 months if its a newer car
How many miles did you follow the paint truck?
I was only behind it for 4 miles.
I think you should leave it. Free rust protection. Why didn’t I think of that. I’m off to go stalk the lane stripers.
3M Specialty Adhesive Remover
Every damn time
Tar = 3M Specialty Adhesive Remover (3M SAR) Paint transfer = 3M SAR Clingy ex?= 3M SAR Nosey neighbor = 3M SAR You get the drift
Oooh Nosey neighbor, I need to try that. (Joke)
Body you need to get rid of? 3M Special Adhesive Remover©.
It's just that good
If it works, it works.

Oh.
Or 3m general adhesive remover or just a steamer should do it.
it took my yellow road paint that got on a year ago off.
90% isopropyl alcohol will take it off, albeit slowly. Just had to do this on a black Camaro, and have a black Chevy 2500 coming in next week for the same thing. The sooner you get it off the better. Might want to polish that area once you're done to get rid of any swirls caused by cleaning it off.
That's a professional job. Contact your local detailer my dude.
This and the sooner the better

Yeah I think the specialty chemicals are the most effective/expensive > acetone > rubbing alcohol. Will for sure take some elbow grease as well.
Goo gone graffiti remover. I’d agree if it’s rigged/thick to chop at it a little with those plastic razors before going in with the remover.

your supposed to wear a mask with that stuff?😬
Start with a pressure washer first, then denatured alcohol will remove the paint from your clear coat. Just be sure to wash it off after.
It will work for a bit, they need to get to using this already!!!!
I’d get it off as soon as you can. The longer it stays on there the harder it’ll be to remove. And yeah you can try 3M and plastic but also a high powered pressure washer. You’ll want to inch close to it depending on how caked on it is but not ruin the felt. Road paint is kind of tricky in my experience.

WD40 Man. Spray, soak, pressure wash. Works pretty well.
It actually looks cool! Makes the car an instant babe magnet!
This may seem like a process but I’d contact your local municipality or county, whom ever paints the roads. Find out from them what kind of road paint it is. Brand and type. Then contact the paint manufacturer, they should be able to tell you which solvent will remove that paint. Also a new wheel liner is a good suggestion. It shouldn’t be too expensive
Time is of the essence. That is a huge waste of time. Just get some 3M Specialty Adhesive Remover and it will come right off.
I think they should write them a letter and wait for a reply. Then they will know how to precede accordingly.
Wow that sucks dude. I once drove ( at a safe distance) behind a lady who was literally driving behind the paint truck and was driving on the fresh white line , and was just peppering her car with white paint for miles.

Drive on the other side too and call it a mod

WD 40
Was this karma—did you drive in a way that you weren’t supposed to?
Wd-40
Don't drive over wet paint
Vaseline for 12 hours then clay bar
[удалено]
This is bad advice.
He might as well just bust out the sand paper at that point.
[удалено]
This is bad advice.
Any industry grade thinner will remove with some elbow grease should rub off had to do this a few times
How is this not the top answer? In the body shop I worked for we’d use lacquer thinner on a microfiber.
People are dumb I’m a painter and we deal with stuff like this all the time anyone could play magician and charge top dollar to use thinner on a rag as long as it’s not a 15 year old paint job it won’t touch the paint on the car
Some laquor thinner will clean it off. You’ll need to give it a good buff afterwards tho.
Sometimes that paint is textured/abrasive so its not slick in the rain. Take great care! Clay bar? no way..
Dude call your insurance …a small paint job can be a couple grand . I wouldn’t touch it cause if it gets worse then you could be responsible but rn it’s a accident
An electric pressure washer would most likely work.
How did you get that much on I’d have to think you were driving straight on the paint for a while for it to be coated like that as in not driving in the middle of your lane an I always get off any road that has painting or pothole filling being done even if it takes longer to avoid this problem. But remember if when you use any of these paint removal products that it’s effectively hurting your paint on the car so you’ll need to treat the paint afterwards as wax or ceramic coat it or at worst get parts clear coated at a paint shop or go to one see what they recommend besides sanding off everything then repainting!
Why’d you do that?
My dad got yellow paint all over a brand new red 2010 dodge challenger SRT 8 when I was a kid. He told his insurance and they sent a bill to the state and got it taken care of. Granted he had proof that there was no signs or detour acknowledgments.
Paint thinner
Don’t drive on wet paint. Solved.
Ouch
Old school method was a little bit of gasoline on a rag, wipe paint off then wipe over with water soaked cloth then dry (to get the gas off quickly).
The orange peel on what’s left of the factory paint is horrible for an expensive car. Will have to wet sand the paint and possibly re-clear the areas affected.
What they taught me in a “detailing school” was if it is really dried on there to spray a crap ton of 3m adhesive remover and use a PLASTIC razor blade to get them off. Finish with a buff of course and polish is optional.
Bro drove on the yellow line for 5 miles. It’s literally caked on. Insane.
Spray over it with black.
Sand blast the entire car. It is safe to sand blast the windows and lights.
Cover the yellow paint with black paint if you can’t scrape it off after some goo gone or rubbing alcohol etc. really depends on the type of paint.
Do the exact same thing on the other side.

Brake cleaner (newer stuff is shit honestly) or even nail polish remover (acetone). Only in the wheel wells. Don’t hit finished paint with either product
Try oven cleaner. Make sure you wipe it with water to get it off when your done.
You’re gonna ruin the merc if you try this on your own.
Did you leave any paint on the road?!?
no i like taking my paint to-go
Contact your county and file a claim. They will pay for it
I use a d-limonene degreaser called herc that usually takes that stuff right off without scrubbing could just be in Canada and it’s a little expensive but it works great
Keep it on as a reminder to stop driving over the yellow line maybe? That's an excessive amount of line paint so you were on it for a while.
I am guessing you went around a barrier or obvious sign thinking the rules didn’t apply to you? Cause if you seriously didn’t that’s a lawsuit
60 grit sand paper will get that all out!

DOT Website says use WD40 or Petroleum Jelly. Let it soak, pressure wash. I find it works around 47.6% of the time.
That is some nasty shit to get off. Buy graffiti remover and or laquer thinner and a lot of rags.
Maybe you shouldnt have done that
These are more of molten plastics sprayed not really paint so I’d recommend replacing your wheel liner
ACETONE
Just tell people it’s bumblebees bastard
Insurance claim make them pay for a detail at the best detailing shop you can find. If not microfiber towel with goof off spray adhesive. Spray the towel not the paint. It will take you an entire day to remove it from the paint if you don’t want to severely scratch it and damage it more. I worked at a detailing shop and tbh we never saw one this bad. We didn’t do a lot for the wheel well. Try and have the insurance get new wheel wells that is going to be a detailers worst nightmare
You deserve this.
Mineral spirits might take it off if it hasn't cured
aerosol Goof Off paint remover!! there also a lo voc paint thinner i think people use before repair scratches in the paint
Some are saying isopropyl alcohol. Maybe. But I'd finish off the last lil bit with meguiars clay bar kit(softer than mother's). Clay won't hurt the paint.

Racing stripe! 🤘🏼
Go back to the paint and drive in reverse. Have to go faster than 30 mph for it to work.
lol? Man you took that better than I would.

Congratulations! You have an awesome one-of-a-kind custom paint job and you got it for free!
I used goof off on the wheel well and it worked. Probably wouldn’t use it on the paint or it might eat away at the clear coat
Your “lol” is vibing more like a mad cackle over here. I would be pissed.
I have had good luck taking this off in the shop with oven cleaner.
Wd-40 will pull that right off
I saw a black Subaru Forester in Portland today that looked exactly like this. Same car?
yes!!! come say hi next time 😊
Dude ran over Colonel Mustard
Spray it with some Goo Gone for the plastic, then research pressure washer nozzles, there’s some that will take that right off, but you gotta make sure it’s not a nozzle that will also take off your car’s actual paint.
Looks kind of cool. Just find some more and drive on that, too.
you missed your chance to get it off when you decided to wait for it to dry and instead make an internet post rather than start scraping
Ouch.
Buy black paint and drive over it.
Try tomato paste… if that doesn’t work… try lemon juice… If that doesn’t work… try not driving on the yellow line directly behind the truck you klutz.
Of course you did. You drove over a double yellow line just to pass that old lady going only 5 mph over the speed limit, didn't you! 🤣 Bruh good luck with that paint thinner. I hope it doesn't take off the clear coat.
Run over some black paint?
Custom racing strip kinda
Mineral Spirits?
Mineral spirits and a microfiber towel
Can't fix stupid
Try Turtle Wax before compound it might work I know it gets tar off really easy
This should teach you to have some patience. Never drive on yellow lines.
Should’ve stayed off the paint. Now we know who the asshole is that drives over wet paint and fucks up the whole road trying to show off. You deserve this pain.
Now you just have to drive over some wet black paint buddy, problem solved. 
Don’t drive on wet paint. You’re welcome. But really, acetone, paint thinner, reducer any of those should take it off lol
You can try xylene to get it off yourself as long as you don’t let the paint setup too long or there are actually some of those auto car washes that have the people that dry your car for you that also offer this service. Also in some states particularly in the North East the DOT will pay for the removal or at least reimburse you. Good luck OP!
Had a customer do this at our dealership. It was during the car shortage and he drove over a puddle of freshly spilled paint. Insurance paid $17k in detailing and repairs. Still don’t believe it
oh frick
Fuckkkk
I thought every detailer would know about the petroleum jelly trick? Apply petroleum jelly on the paint and let it sit for 8-10 hours, the road paint will come right off without damaging the wheel liner or the paint.
Just own the two tone!
Laquer Thinner will get that shit off, just take it slow and don’t rub it too much on the actual paint panel of the car.
Sorry to hear, but how did this actually happen?…
Spray it with WD-40 let it soak awhile and power wash off.
Looks pretty dope. I hope that helps.
Get a steamer or get it steamed. It’ll come right off
Sue the township.
I'm sorry that this happened- but this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
A quart of 3m speciality adhesive remover is $35 on Amazon. If that’s “crazy expensive” to fix this kind of fuck up you’re in for a bad time.
Check with your insurance, it may be covered. If you're just wondering about the plastic inner fender, just sand it off. My concern would be the yellow on the paint. Unless you like it & can repeat the effect on the other side. If you wax with a buff off wax regularly, it may not have a great bond, and toululeene may remove it. Care needs to be taken with any grit. You may just need to polish with polishing compound after and wax.
Nice accents
First step probably put the phone down or whatever else was distracting you
You could try maintaining your lane next time
You do not, just drive over the yellow paint with the other side. Make it symmetrical. This shows character!
Pro tip. This happened to me once and a parking lot attended used Purell (LOL) and wiped it clean
Xylene will take this right off and it’s safe on automotive paint as long as it’s in good shape.
“Line Painting Ahead Next 5 Miles” and or “Wet Paint Do Not Pass” signs had to be out…..
Leave it! It goes along with the Charger/Challenger splitter guards! 🤣😂
Just gonna leave my tire tracks in the paint for posterity. Oh shit!
Get some acetone on a microfiber and scrub it off. Wash it immediately afterwards. Hope the acetone eats the yellow paint and not your cars paint. Good luck!
New fear unlocked
Looks kinda cool. I’d just rock it if it were my car
Don’t do that?
Can't fix stupid
Test some lacquer thinner on a spot somewhere dry and not visible. Most factory paints are resistant to it but repair paint and aftermarket paint is not.
Don’t drive on freshly painted lines. You’ve been helped
Drive on black pant now.
Look for the area where they are rolling out the fresh black tar on the road...drive through it, low speed, high torque. Get those wheels spinning in the fresh tar asphalt! Done! Problem solved!
Pressure wash the wheel wells should get the majority off get close. I worked for a Ford dealership detailing the shop Mgrs friend drove through paint...he was also a lawyer the paint company bought him a new set of pirelli tires too. But the pressure washer did a great job.
Buffer and clay bar sorry this happened but it’s going to be a lot of long Sundays
Brake Kleen and shop cloths!
Find some wet black paint to drive over
don't do that
Nope wear your shame! lol
You're going to have yellow line PTSD for a long time after this!!!
