Went into my garage today and found the ramp on one side of the lift sticky and shiny with some clearish looking something. Then I saw it. A Rustoleum inverted marking can, for laying out lines on grass fields etc. high visibility pink that blew out out it's can. Was on a shelf for a year or so about 5 feet off the ground. So what was on the lift. My 3A. $hit. If the lift was up, there would have been no damage done.
I got right to work. It covered the driver side apron, nearly the entire hood, mirror, front fender, bumper, cowl some. 1st tried 3M adhesive remover that also removes bugs and tar to pick off the clearing solvent. It dissolved most of the spray (it apparently just happened before I discovered it), I had to pick the pink specks off, some remain, more that I haven't yet found. Then I washed it off with a wet sock and used the 3M again. Then I used some 3M swirl remover. Getting there but the paint has clouded a bit so next I'm going try my Porter Cable polisher next. It's not a trailer queen but a nice 3.
Throw away your old paint. I walked past that can every day and should have reached out and trashed it. Most of the pink leached out around the bottom of the can and did not get sprayed, thankfully. I'd rather be driving.
