Calling Picus! Ran over road paint!!
So I changed to turning lane the other day only to find out that ran over fresh road paint. Now the yellow crap is all over my driver's side tires, side skirts, rear bumper, and wheel wells.
How would I go about cleaning that up?
I tried Goo Gone, didn't work well. I tried scraping with a chisel (only on wheelwell, wouldn't risk it on painted part), that got some thick ones off, but I don't want to scratch it.
Any suggestions?
They should put warning signs like "Wet Paint"

Oh Man, that sucks...... That crap is really tough paint!!!
Paint thinners should work in the wheel wells & on the tire itself.
I wouldn't use it on the paint though, it easily dulls the clearcoat.
If it's hardened on you may have to wet sand.
BUT....
Your 1st thought is the best one, don't do anything untill you hear from Kevin.
I'd drop him an email.
Any chance you documented the incident?
You might be able to get it done by a pro (Kevin) & send the bill to the town.

But I'll try claybar, time to make a trip to Crappy Tires

You would have had to document the scene to have any chance of a claim.
