Got Wet Paint On My Car
I guess wherever I was driving yesterday had some freshly painted lines on the street. When I went to wash it yesterday, I saw white paint on my black car. Lil splash dots everywhere. Anyone ever have this problem? How do you get rid of it, if at all?
Also, does anyone know how much Subaru touch up paint costs and if it's available online? Thanks. |

You should be able to order touch-up paint from Subaruparts.com or 1stsubaruparts.com, or, go to http://www.paintscratch.com/

Must have been a S. Jersey/Philly thing. I washed and waxed my '96 today and discovered dozens of white paint spots. Some came off using a popsicle stick, many look like they are in for the long haul. $%*@!!!
I'll try the WD-40 trick.

Haha, it's not that I don't trust you, Randy! I just get nervous about trying stuff! Don't mind me.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Alan. I learned the kerosene trick at my uncle's service station, but, most people have WD-40 around the house. Plus, it "sounds" a little less "harsh" than, "slap some coal oil (the southern terminology for kerosene ) on it, that'll take care of it." Of course, in the south, "coal oil" is a cure all for just about everything: dandruff, mange on dogs, sore joints, chafing .

Randy, thanks for suggesting it, but that's exactly why it made me nervous (exactly what you just posted). Doesn't mean I won't try it.
Also, thanks for suggesting that site. I ordered the paint from there today. |

brake clean and carb clean will get that paint off quick!
no guarantees on your original paint though (don't try it!)
