<HTML>Have never tried to get roof paint off of a vehicle , so not too sure.

Try some 3m General Purpose Adhesive Reomove, have had some good results with this on various things, if you havent already tried clay bar etc .

<HTML>my standard procedure is to try using acrilic solvent and laqure thinner (which ever works best) and use a clay bar wether the solvent works or not. After all that a good buff job is deffinately nessesary.</HTML>

<HTML>What does roof paint look like? We use tarp, not paint here. Is this like road line (street) paint? If so, try mineral spirits.</HTML>

Take care,

<HTML>DEPENDS ON HOW BAD THE OVER SRAY IT IS. IF IT IS LIKE SPOTS AND DROPS A PREP SOLVE FOLLOWED BY A CLAY BAR SHOULD WORK. IF IT IS ON LIKE PUDDLES TRY A HEAVY POLISH AND WORK YOUR WAY UP TO A COMPOUND, I HAD A JOB APPROX 2 WEEKS AGO WHERE THERE WAS WHITE PAINT ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE CAR WE HAD TO USE A 1500 COMPOUND TO GET IT OFF, AND SOME PLACES WE USED 800 GRIT COMPOUND, WE DID IT BY HAND AND HAD NO PROBLEM GETTING IT OFF</HTML>

<HTML>Ed and Linda:

we had a similar experience at my employer about i month ago. A painting co. came out to paint the ceiling above some heat treating furnaces with a high temp silver paint, the same stuff they use on mobile home roofs. This stuff is supposed to withstand extreme temp and weathering so be careful. Well, being the rocket scientists they are they, in order for ventilation, left the ceiling exhaust fans on. It covered about 25 cars. if you had a similar situation chances are the paint was relatively dry before it hit the finish. if it is just specs all over you should be able to just use a clay bar and lubricant on the paint, and a good foaming glass cleaner and flat razor on the glass. if it is anything more than that, than i would verify the type of paint before attempting removal. If you can contact the paint manufacturer, sherwin williams , valspar, etc. they will have the info for proper removal. Hope this helps.

Good Luck
