The misfortune of running over "wet" Yellow highway marker paint??? I did yesterday :evil: :evil: :evil: When I got out to fill up the FJ. I was PO'D to say the least. It wasn't as bad as it could've been. On the rocker panel plastic of the FJ, The lower side of the trailer & the Hull W/few spots on the covers.At least it wasn't completely fresh & I used the used up Wawa gift card to knock ALL of the paint off the hull while floating in the lake!! Pressure washed almost all off the FJ BUT I don't think I'm gonna be that lucky W/Gator hide trailer!! What freak'n DOT Paints lines on a 2 lane road on a Sat morning??? Especially in a state that is now gonna pay the state workers only %20 of salary cause Our Great politicians can't balance the budget ( YET they're getting $200 per day till it's resolved) America gotta love it no matter how dumb it can be at times eh?!?!?!?!

Any solutions to paint removal on trailer W/out damaging original coating??

Other then that it was a beautiful easy day in/on/out of the lake!

DuPont 3812S enamel reducer. I once had a scuff mark on a car that I couldn't get off no matter what I tried, including some pretty strong solvents. As it happened, that car had to have some body work done and while it was at the body shop I asked the owner if he had any ideas about the scuff. He brought out a can of this stuff and a rag, and made one wipe across the scuff and it disappeared. I was so amazed I went to an auto body paint shop and bought a gallon of it (probably the smallest size you can get). That was years ago and since then I've used it on several cars and several problem spots. I've never seen anything it didn't work on and I've never seen it cause any damage.

Easy fix for the gatorhyde trailer is just to get some gatorhyde touch up and just put a coat over it. No biggie.
