Default Help Please!

It may sound weird, but i was driving one day and a can of paint fell off the back of a truck that was ahead of me. I rolled through the paint that spilled on the road but didnt think it would do no harm. Now i've got white specs of paint on my black car! What can i do to remove the specs of paint without damaging my original finish?

Please help!

Try using your fingernail to scratch them off, then use some rubbing compound followed by a polish to get the clearcoat back to shiny and new.

You could just get itcolorsanded and buffed. I got overspray on my truck once and the paint came out looking better than b4.

I have stuff at my job that removes anythinig (paint to!) it's called Marine Coumpound. I couldn't tell you the brand or anything sorry about that... It's just white stuff and it removes anything.. I actually used it on my civic, the previous owner had cansprayed the car and painted over the lights... well it removed it!
