Hi guys,
Here's my dilemma.....
Two days ago, my brother was driving home on the highway and passed a line painting truck which neglected to stop spraying paint when he saw cars passing in the nearby lanes... So there is now about a dozen or more little white paint dots on the front bumper. I was first thinking that a simple claying might have fixed this, although i haven't tried yet. I was thinking i would get your opinion on what i should do before i proceed. It was already washed same day it happened and no luck getting it off. I figure if i apply a bit of pressure with my finger nail i might be able to get it off but i'm not sure and was just wondering if there is a more civilized method.
Some were telling my brother in town he needed a new paint job to which I chuckled and just couldn't believe. The bumper has already been repainted about a couple of months ago so you can understand my disbelief.
I didn't think a polish could take this off seeing as it was actually above the surface of the clear but i'm just not sure if paint splatter embeds itself in clear coat.
I have attached pictures...sorry for the bugs you see on the front bumper. Just took pictures now. One day after washing and it seems alot of bugs found their home there :P
