removing road line paint

wife drove thru fresh yellow line paint on our street in her new koupe.. any thoughts as to what works best to remove it...

thanks chris

I'd call the county road commission. I bet that stuff is going to be TOUGH to get off, but if they don't know what to use, I'm sure they can get you the manufacturer info....

Isn't that stuff a kind of melted plastic or something?

not sure.. i know the stuff on the highways up here has pulverized glass powder in it for reflectivity..

I've had my Hoosiers pull paint right off asphalt. Got a spare A6 sitting around?

they'd probably tell you that you aren't supposed to drive over wet paint anyways, and send you some sort of a ticket for your troubles.

Many times they've got a special chemical for cleaning the paint off cars. Apparently it works quite well. Give them a call.

I got some on my Fiesta. I stopped at the dealer body shop to find out what to use. The manager came out, took a look at it and said, "bring it in tomorrow morning at 8:30". So I did. The manager himself took a spray bottle of liquid. Sprayed it on and wiped it of. When he got done , he said, "give it a wax job and have a nice day" Should have asked what he used. Sorry, not much help huh.

I have this problem too.

When I worked at the body shop, we used to use automotive paint thinner diluted with wax & grease remover. Didn't harm the paint at all.

brake fluid?

Shotgun?

acetone?

cover it with hurculiner?...

Acetone has the added benefit of removing many factory paints as well. Usually it's a little slower at eating them vs overspray laying unbaked on top. But, not always. Use at your own risk.

thought you were wanting to make bigger lanes..
