A friend had a can of paint fall of of a truck in front of her and she has paint now all down the side of her car. Is there anyway to remove it? Its a mid 90's Nissan 200sx if that matters. Thanks.
 
If it's interior paint you could try undiluted Simple Green. I used that for "overbrush" when I was painting my kitchen. If that doesn't work then I would try an aggressive bodyshop clay. If that doesn't work then you will have to wet sand. Hopefully the Simple Green will work.
 
If the paint on your car is clearcoat/basecoat, A product like Goof-Off will work to remove latex paint and some enamels. If that doesn't work you can use lacquer thinner:
Wet a soft cloth with the thinner and working in small sections wipe the paint off. after done make sure to wash the area, polish and wax. Caution: if the paint is single stage, the lacquer thinner can cause damage. Some trim pieces even on newer cars are still finished with single stage paints. If in doubt try and very small area first. Wet sanding should be a last resort.
 
I recently had to remove bright green splatter on a white BMW (so it was really noticeable). I tried a host of products, and what ended up working for me was Stoner's Tarminator. Who woulda thought :dunno
 
My moms car has road paint on the underside of the car (wheel wells, paint itself on the underside of the door) and its about 2-3 yaers old i have NEVER been able to get it off. Do u have any products that would work. By the way its a 99 I30t. please give me some insight
 
If you're good with a high pressure hose, then just blast it off. It works wonders, especially on the wheelwells. You might want to soften it up first with some mild paint thinner, just don't let it sit long if you're going to use the HighPressure Hose or if you're not experience enough with this method don't do it at all.
