Drove over paint

darego

Hi all,

Looking for a bit of advice. I drove over some paint a couple of days ago and there is still some left just in front of and behind 2 of the wheels.

I am looking for any ideas on how to make it less noticeable? I was thinking of buying some black/dark gray paint and just painting over it, since its not on the actual exterior paint work of the car. But I am not sure which type of paint would be the best, as a glossy black for example would stand out a lot too.

Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated! :pac:

Picture of the paint -

What about a cloth and some paint thinner / spirits

Wouldn't worry about it until you need to, perhaps selling, road grit etc over time will shift some if not all of it

Find some spilled black paint and drive over it.:D:pac:

cheers lads, will try some white spirits on it over the weekend. would spirits be all right to use on some spots on the tyres also?

Don’t put solvent on rubber tyres

If you decide to paint over under the wheel arch you can buy a small tin of underbody paint in a motor factors or Halfords.

Don't bother, the paint will wear off the tyres over time as the rubber wears.

If it was just domestic water based paint you ran over it'll all wear off over time, especially when driving in wet weather.

thanks lads!

Do you know what kinda paint it was? If it was cheapo interior paint, it'll wash away itself. If it was external masonry paint, it might hand about a bit longer.

Have you given it a few minutes of hardcore pressure washer penetration?

I'm guessing it was cheapo interior paint! I am going to try a garage pressure washer first. Then a mixture of white spirits and a matt black paint from halfords -

Honestly, I'd use a pressure washer before spending money on anything else. If you don't have one, throw €2 into a Certa pressure washer or such. Especially if it's cheapo interior paint.

Can you feel the edge of the paint with your nail? Might be possible to scrape it with a blade
