Unhappy Car Got Paintballed!!!

Ok, heres the problem... A bunch of kids paintballed my car this weekend with white paintballs... I have pressure washed it, scrubbed it, and pressure washed it again and it won't come off! A friend told me today that he thought the kind of paint used in those will eat the clearcoat. The sad part is that I just repainted the whole thing a few months ago... ANYONE KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET IT OFF???

Re: Car Got Paintballed!!!

Don't exactly know for car paint/clear coat but,
have you tried brake fluid? Brake fluid cleaner?
How about (i don't know what its called) that stuff you spray on permanant markings on walls and tables and it removes it without damaging the paint?

Re: Car Got Paintballed!!!

Brake fluid will eat your paint!!!!!!!!
When stuff gets stuck on my paint I use a chemical called red hot. That shit is sweet it just eats thought anything, including your paint if u leave it on long enought. I get the stuff from the subaru dealer(friends with the owner).

Damn dude, that is really gay. Paintballing shit is fun as hell, but not cars. I have no idea how to get that shit off, but put some picks up. Only thing I can think of that gets paint off really well is mineral spirits, but don't use that on your car, that will take ALL of the paint off.

Re: Car Got Paintballed!!!

No, I haven't tried brake cleaner or anything harsh like that because I'm afraid of that eating the clearcoat too... So far, the paintballs aren't eating it... Its all over the windows too and it doesn't come off that either... Kids are so immature...

Re: Car Got Paintballed!!!

Well brake fluid is what i used to get paint marks of my car. Its ok aslong as you don't soak your car and leave it there.
I just put a little bit at a time on a cloth. Enough for one finger. Now Engine degreaser will ruin your paint.

Re: Car Got Paintballed!!!

I thought about trying a really really soft rubbing compound, but hate the thought of having to do that to the whole car... Think it would be too rough on the clearcoat for it?

Re: Car Got Paintballed!!!

Good luck with getting that shit off your car.

Oh I know exactly who did it, he's getting his ass kicked for that and for trying to take advantage of a drunk girl too... My girlfriend to be more exact...
Maybe a paint grenade will "accidently" go off inside his cavalier...
