With all that crap, thats a $250+ detail easy. Id let insurance pay for it with a $50 deductible.

Man, I would be pi$$ed! Hopefully you will be as good as new in short order. It's going to take a lot of time to get it all off.

That's brutal. I had a similar incident happen to me when I had my 11. Some jokers were painting an awning on the building across from our office in dark green. They were spraying it in the wind. Needless to say, my truck which was only a couple of days old ended up with a green hue to the platinum white paint. I was so pissed I could barely see straight. A day at the detailer, which the painter paid for, and it was as good as new. They should be able to clean yours up the same way. Sucks just for the inconvenience and stress though. I feel for you.

A rag soaked in some paint thinner will wipe it off. The longer it sits on there the more time it'll take. Gas also would work if you don't have thinner.
