Latex paint, lots of it.

[PippinAin'tEasy]

So, some ******* lets his 5 gallon bucket of (guessing) exterior latex paint flip off the back of his truck. Splat. At least it was white. Matches my truck which is now wearing a good bit of it. Swerving was not an option during rush hour or we would have traded paint of a different sort. Rolled through it and have it all in the fenders, some on the side, nerf bars, etc. Imagine hitting a mud hole of this ****. How to get it off? Bring on the suggestions.

Magic eraser, I know friend that got her car spray painted and it cleaned it right off. I'm not 100% on the chemical make up of it so I don't know if it would be harmful to the paint on your truck but i don't think it would just take caution.

Denatured Alcohol takes Latex paint off of anything!

The Magic Eraser is slightly abrasive. I wouldn't use it on the exterior paint. Would probably work great on the wheelwells.

if its latex, shouldnt a high pressure washer take it off?

Thank you I didn't know much about it I just know it worked on cleaning spray paint off my friends car.

I imagine it would.

Latex is a water based paint, when I was a home painter, it washed right off brushes, roller...so assume if it is indeed latex, water will get it off.

Clay bar?
Lots of elbow grease involved, but I imagine it should work

Happened to me last year on my black truck. The only thing that worked was a clay bar. Good luck

Wound up hitting it with the power washer and that got the bulk of it. Took a look again after it stopped raining only to find that some other ch*cklef*ck hit the door with a cart and cut through down to the metal. Next thread: Best touch-up methods. Then hopefully claybar the rest of the leftover speckles.
