recently driving around and some badger had spilt some gloss paint ok it were a puddle but without further ado i kinda went through it and went up the 1 side of the car just general how can i get it off with out taking the paint away with it many regards i would like a cheaper option than going to a garage an forking out an arm and a leg lol cheers

might be a bodyshop to be honest
my GFs car got paint splashed up the side of her moter due to her driving over wet road markings
and everything we tryed short of sand paper hasnt worked

best stuff was some tar remover from halfords, it brought some of it off but the majorety is still on
sorry pal!!


PS if anyone else knows how to remove paint from a car body please comment!

let it go hard. scrape it off with edge of old credit card. it shuld chip off.

failing that get the panel hot, and t-cut, and tar remover

went to the garage next door to me an they said that some thinners will do the trick but wot thinners i dunno neither did they which is stupid if you ask me its not big its under the arch mainly and lil splashes up the passenger door the arch is easy to replace and the tyre luckely i didnt have my alloys on hehehe but if i were to go to the garage roughly wot price am i looking at cos lets face it garage prices these days are outta this world?

i duno i dont like the idea of putting paint thinner on a car body
big no in my book

remember wen we used thinner to remove the glue left on the side strips on my m8z corsa, it turns his paint purple!!

yea he had to have it re-sprayed
as his car was white so it was really visable!

not being funny but who spilt the paint on it? and it sounds like it was not your fault so get the person to pay for the damage who did it.

You should try lighter petrol next time!

Maybe petrol or a little deisel would work for the paint, go easy on the desiel though.

my diesel is too precitous to waste at £1.22 a litre!

il try a lil lighter fluid see if that helps
