How can I wash off the paint for road markings?

There are cases when the paint for road markings can accidentally get on the car. And this can become a real problem, since it is almost impossible to wash it even from asphalt. What to do in such a situation?

Why is it difficult to wash off the paint for road markings?
 
Paints for road markings have such a feature as very high strength and adhesion, since they must withstand snow, rain, heat, sun, and constant travel of 10-ton trucks.

Paints for road markings are produced with such features as wear resistance, resistance to all kinds of weather changes, UV resistance and durability. High-quality paint, for example, Teknobond 960 will last from 2 years with high intensity of use. 

Marking paints have a huge advantage - a wide range of applications. But, also, there is a disadvantage, especially for car owners: when such material gets into contact, it is very difficult to wash it off. This applies to both the paintwork surfaces of cars, and the concrete or asphalt itself.

Is it possible to wash the paint for road markings from the car yourself?

If you are very confident in your paint, with which the car was painted and in your abilities, then you can try to wipe off the material for road markings with solvent, alcohol or gasoline.

But the fact that the car paint will wash off together with the paint for road markings has a very high probability. 

We also saw tips on forums that they wiped off such paint with a blade, for example, from glass or just sunflower or olive oil, which may win ordinary paint, but definitely not paint for road markings.

Therefore, if you do not want to risk getting stains or scratches on your transport, it is better to give it to a car service, where an experienced master will carefully remove the necessary layer of paint with a special abrasive. 

 

It should also be remembered that paints for road markings begin to harden within 15-20 minutes, and dry completely - from 3 hours, so if the paint gets on your car, try to wipe it immediately with any napkins that came to hand before it starts drying.
