Paint spots

The morons painted at work last week. ( very windy) Washed the car today and found little paint spots on the front of the car. What is a good way to remove them?

I would let whoever did the painting at work deal with it, especially if it was a professional painting company. It's their responsibility. That's why they have insurance.

Check to see how easy it comes off first. That happened to me when the apartments I was staying at painted. I thought I was screwed but it came right off when I washed it. Paint droplets that small are probably just about dry by the time it hits your car. You can always make the painters take care of it later if that doesn't work.

They are suppose to use paint shields....and if it too windy....then not paint that day.

Man that is irritating....

Yes....bother those painters with this one....they are responsible. You have proof....the color of the paint.

Damn that sucks....Like everyone said bother the painters especially if they are witha large company....If you don't want to, then claying the car should work..depeneding on how well the paint adhered you should be able to get it off. Look at the sticky on exterior detailing in the detailing forum for info.

It was some guy's that I work with. The boss thought it would be a good idea to paint all the short poles that stick out of the ground.

06 Camry, iif this happened to me, and if the paint's good underneath these spots, i'd just fix it myself, seeing how it is a workplace thing and all .

And i think these spots will come right off with any small amt of polishing. Just get a can of ANY type of car polish or polishing compound, and wash the car then use clean rags and polish the spots off. Stay away from rubbing compound, i really doubt you would need it for this problem and the abrasive is too course! Use polish, and your car will be fine.
