    Road Paint!! I Searched But Nothing Worked!

    So I had a Mercedes today that had road paint all down the rocker panel. I used Lacquer thinner, I used heat, mineral spirits, some other body solvent stuff I have(not Meguiars) and nothing worked. Its silver paint and that stuff is on there good!!

    Any other suggestions?

    hmm lacquer thinner on a towel always worked for me. cement can look a lot like white road paint and can really frustrate the hell out of you til you find out nothing works.try a plastic blade and if nothing even chips off then its definitely cement. And im sry to say but the customer isnt always right.lol good luck!

    Road paint is a thermoplastic material. Try a blowdryer to soften it up, then mineral spirits

    You can try a plastic razor, but be careful.

    I tried the razor blade. I know its not cement. You can tell the texture difference between the 2.
