Default White paint on my truck!!!

Another thing...About 4 months ago, some guys painting the exterior moldings of the apartment complex that I live in painted my truck white in a way. Actually, what happened was the guys paint sprayers produced some offspary that went out into the parking lot and speckled my entire red truck with white spots!!! AHHHHHH!!! Anyway, I tried to wax it off with a cleaner wax, polish, and carnauba job....but it didn't work. Any other ideas besides repainting?? Thanks!

find out who did it, show them what they did, and tell them to pay up.

Like they said, use a clay bar. It's a major PITA and will take at least 3 hours and probably 2 clay bars. As of showing the people who did it and trying to make them pay, good luck. A guy I work with had his front of his car smashed by a dump truck, he reported to the Project Manager over the job-site immediately and nothing's been done. They basically told him to f**k off.

You can buy a clay bar kit from most auto part stores. Mother's make a kit that I have used a few times. works great.

Worst case scenario, you should be able to get it off with a buffing wheel. A similar thing happend to my black 85 Monte...I must have driven through white paint and it was splashed down the driver's side. I took it some place to be detailed and they wheeled it right off (I wouldn't attempt it myself since my vehicles are always black and I've never really used a buffing wheel)
