Ran over a can of spray paint
Hi guys, so a couple of days ago i ran over a can of white spray paint. It exploded and got all over the bottom of the car and some on the Rims. I have the 20" 5-spoke, split, premium Gray-painted, machined-face, aluminum wheels and i was wondering if anyone knows how to get the paint of the them ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Only thing I can think of is some paint thinner but I'd try a little on a spot where it can't be seen to make sure it doesn't mess stuff up.

Mineral spirits maybe?
Check with a detailer.

Check with a paint store the deals in auto paints. Did you retrieve the can? Take it in also

The sooner the better to get it off.
I remember flying over a huge cross-street road crown in my '73 charger as a kid. Upon impact we heard a hissing noise, then the cloud, then the smell. A can of orange spray paint had wedged with the spray nozzle depressed somehow under the front seat. What a mess!

 Man that is terrible. I don't know how your insurance company's work in the USA but I would call them and find out if this is covered or not and the cost associated with it. Other than that I would defiantly stay away from paint thinner. Even if you test one area it may damage in another. I had something similar happen to me on an Audi S6!
