How to Remove Road Paint From a Car

Road paint literally jumps up and sticks to the bottom sides of your car's paint. Removing this paint can be a daunting task.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Hot Water
• Old Rags
• Plastic Razor Blades

1. Heat the road paint. Road paint is usually a latex paint that does not adhere well to the enamel finish on your car. Using an old rage, bathe the road paint spot in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes.

2. Scrape away the paint. The safest way to remove the road paint is with a plastic razor blade. Gently try to lift the edge of the latex road paint with the razor and peel away from the car. This step is time consuming.

3. More hot water. You will need to heat the road paint over and over again to keep it easy to work with.

Tips & Warnings

• After you have removed the paint, make sure to wash and wax your car.
• Never use a real razor blade to scrape away paint.
