Just one of those days (that your truck gets involuntarily painted)

Big test today. Hoping for good things from the 303 Graphene. My neighborhood started painting my house and without a knock on the door, painted the carport. They covered the truck but I would have been MORE than happy to move it. No idea they were coming today. Happy overspray day. Just venting. Bad words. It’s the spot that looks like this ?. He has many friends.

Can’t believe they did that without telling you. I would be upset too!?

Retired, work is a four letter word.
It should wash off. The surface wasn't prepped and had 303 on it. They should have let you know they were painting giving you the chance to move the truck.
I doubt it will just 'wash' off, might need buffing, you need to have a LONG talk with the person responsible.

Honestly it should come right off. I've been professionally painting for 40 years and that's nothing, I've seen much worse.

** EDIT: If you already have Graphene on your truck, FIRST I would try using some very warm water and a sponge. I think that'll loosen it up seeing as the Graphene should keep it from really bonding. If that doesn't work try below next.

Just take a small drop of goof off on a microfiber towel and lightly rub the spot along with a damp sponge right behind it. It should loosen right up and rub off. Then just wax it again and you should be GTG. Don't press hard as you don't want to go through the clear coat.

You are a better man than I am, I would have gone all 5150!
Is that when you kneecap them with a damper? I may have fantasized about doing that.

Hoping you’re right. Just in case I took lots of photos should I have to evoke the “I” word.
