Got white traffic paint splattered in fender well and along bottom edge of driver side (naturally)...
Paint appeared to be dry...it did not "track" when I ran across the lines...
It sorta pops off when you "finger nail" it... hard little spots....about size of lead pencil point...
Any suggestions on how to get the stuff off...?
I thought I might check with paint company (like schewin-williams) to see if they know what the solvent might be....but what will it do to the paint...?
Thanks, Architect

Thanks for the link...
I used WD-40...
I also used a nylon scraper....
it was originally designed to spread sheetrock mud.....it tappers to a clean edge...
I cut a portion off, so I have a flat nylon piece about 3" square...
I thought it was the closest thing to a finger nail I could come up with...
strong , flexable and doesn't scratch...
Works great...
Thanks again for the link....

Don't try any strong (paint/adhesive) removers. I tried that and my car is being painted right now because of it....
