Paint splattered all over my car

[yogibear9]

Is it something that I need to worry about or will it come off in the car wash on Monday?

I was driving home earlier today and I heard a thudder and assumed it was bird poo. Didn't think anything of it until now as I just went out quicky to take the recycling and noticed there's paint spots all over the bonnet/windshield/right wing mirror. I've rubbed some of it off but there are other drops to and it's hard to see in the dark.

I'm on a course all day tomorrow then working on Sunday so can't take the car for a wash until Monday. Will it come off? I remember reading about something similar happening to another person and they had to pay £100 to have the car resprayed just panicking a bit.

Firstly it’s an awful lot more than £100 to have a car resprayed.

I’d suggest you go out and hose down the car, have a quick wash with a sponge and washing up liquid, rinse off. At least you’ll have gotten excess off

Waiting to Monday expecting a regular car wash will get paint off is very unrealistic.

It will really depend on what sort of paint it is but I would do as Adore suggests tonight and tomorrow get up early enough to have a good look at it (and maybe a scrub) in the daylight before heading off to your course.

Another vote for not leaving it.

You need to get back outside ASAP and get it off before it sets!!!!!!

*cures!!!!!

Agree with @Cantbreathe2020

You need to get out there. This happened to me with paint from some idiotic painters spraying my neighbours house. They had to pay £600 to get the overspray removed from my car.

Get off what you can whilst its wet, once dried it will likely pick off with a finger nail, dont use anything metal or scouring pads etc you will wreck the paint.
Failing that it will need a machine polish, so a local body shop or some companies advertise on facebook and will come to you and do it, I expect around £100 would get it polished.
It wouldnt need a respray thankfully as you would be looking at £2k upwards for that.

Who would buy a pot of paint that doesn't dry for a few days?

Christ was it a rattle can job for £100 for a respray? You need to get out there now OP and get it off. VW had left overspray on a car I bought from them and I had quotes for £400+ for a detail to get it off. A claybar should work but you could also try tar remover if it's easier for you or if you have any lying around.

Oh and don't pick it off, you could end up taking original paint or lacquer off in the process although I know it's hard to resist.

Are you sure it's not shit? How did paint get on it?

@yogibear9 did you mean £1,000 for a respray? £100 is way off.

Paint won’t come off in a car wash. It won’t come off if you get out there and wash it now. You should have acted when it happened... what did you think would happen??

T-cut?

@yogibear9 How's your car OP?

£100 ? No chance for a real ray 😂

Respray

Get a proper mobile valeter. The problems they can rectify are awesome.

If only it were possible to wash a car yourself. oh well.
