Does anyone know how to remove paint off your car?

I just bought an '04 6MT G35 Coupe in Pearl white and I've had it less than a week. This weekend I went to a small par 9 golf course. When I was finished, I went back to my car and someone threw a paintball or shot one at the back of my car. The paint dripped down and now there's a green streak going down the back of my car from the bottom of my back light to the bottom of the bumper. It's not extremely noticable, but it is noticable. I've tried using car wash soap, rubbing compound, and L.O.C. to try to get it out, but it won't get out. Does anyone know how to or have any ideas of how to remove this stain???? any information would really help!

Paintballs are made of water soluble paint... so I couldnt imagine it leaving permanent marks on your car unless its a dent.

I have one, so I know what im talking about. Maybe its something else that dripped and you confused it with the paintball paint? I doubt the paintball thrown or shot at your car was the cause of this stain.

i think he is talking about the stain left after he washed the paint off...kind of like the bug goop or bird poop that stains white cars. i would try tar and bug remover. it comes in a black and white can and you can get it at your local auto parts store.

yea

Yea I paintball too and I know what it is. There were paintballs laying around my car and there was a small paintball splatter on my car and it dripped down. I don't understand why I can't get out the streak as well. It's like embedded in the paint or something.

i don't think a claybar will help, they only remove surface contaminants...stains like those usually need to fade on their own or some kind of solvent needs to be used.
