Big test today. Hoping for good things from the 303 Graphite. 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.

Get some plastic razor blades and after it dries it should pop off (if it's latex)

Menards around here have them for anywhere from .60 cents to a little over 2 bucks.

Sorry, insurance. I have full coverage but I honestly don’t know if it would help here or not.
The paint shouldn't be difficult to remove as mentioned before. Just very, very time consuming.


I often get paint and wax over spray on stuff(mainly cause I'm an idiot), but pretty easy to remove.

The pictures were just in case but I’m trying to stay positive. Have to go to work tonight so I won‘t get to look at it until Monday morning.

Don't stress over it I've seen complete cars covered in overspray and they came clean. Even a little rubbing compound should work but don't apply any pressure, just let the product do the work. It's not on a porous surface so it's not absorbing into anything just laying on the top.

Will do. Tell you what, as soon as I get it cleaned up the truck is getting a new coat of graphene. Maybe some of those Q upgrades from James Bond.

On a different note but kind of same. So on a nice sunny day I drove my exceptionally clean Black Shelby to work. A coworker comes in the control room and tells me the landscaper blew the parking lot and blew dirt and leaves all over my car. I go out and see my car covered in dirt. Dirt in the window trim against the glass. I came completely unhinged. I reemed him up one side and down the other. I told him how hard would it have been to step in the office to inform so could move cars. Well the woke ass resource manager who drove a beat up Corolla couldn't understand the problem. I told him this better never happen again.
So just what I wanted to do after a 12 hour shift and go home detail my car again. ??

Hi M,

Since this is house paint, The paint can be cleaned with 92% isopropl alcohol without damage to your paint...

Best,
Phil

When detailing after a full dish soap wash and clay bar I wipe the car down with alcohol before application of fresh coatings or waxes.
