Help me get this paint off my truck
These ****ing city worker clowns painted the road lines and didn't put any signs up or anything. Long story short I had to merge around a pylon and now I have this ****ing yellow paint all over my truck. This **** is like concrete. Is there anything I can use to get this **** off? I have tried a pressure washer, rubbing compound, bug and tar remover and a scrapper. Nothing is working. I have contacted the cities legal department and am waiting to hear back.

I would start by pressure washing it with a whole lot of psi! Then, use either laquer thinner or gasoline to get the rest, but if your paint starts feeling soft, stop immediately. When your done, clean it thoroughly and wax it. With the inner fender wells, neither of those chemicals will hurt it, so go to town, just be causios on the paint. I've had to do that several times when I worked at an auto body shop.
If that is a vinal decal, don't rub the laquer thinner or gasoline on it!!

Pressure washer didn't even budge it. What you see are the pics AFTER I already pressure washed. I'l try out the laquer thinner tommorrow. Have to head in to work.
Yeah you have done all that I would have. they should make it right! Especially if there were no warning signs. Which I know from being in the construction field, if it was something like this, the company in charge would make it right as long as it was legit, like no warning signs.
FWIW, I agree with everyone else, make the city pay for it! I was just giving you the best advice I have for doing the job yourself.
