Some gimp dropped/dumped a can load of paint into the road on a tight left hander.

Drove through it as I was mouthing 'FFFUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKK!'... sploosh, sploosh as front and back nearside wheels went through.

I now have what looks to be white matt paint splatters down the left hand side of the car - yup all 4 panels!

I'll try car shampoo to see if it's water based, otherwise any suggestions.

Some years ago I'd parked my freshly resprayed Landrover in a street near where I used to work. When I finished work and went to go home I realised that the house adjacent to where my Landrover was parked had been painted during the day, it was covered in white paint spots which had dried in the sun [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I eventually got it off by some vigorous polishing and t-cutting.

Stuff like this is so annoying, I know how you feel but it should come off ok, let us know how it goes

That sounds like a cool plan. I'll get in touch with the WW l8r.
