    Well somehow ran over some white paint on the road today. Got all over the tires and doors of the taco. I was able to pressure wash it off the doors and got most of it off the tires. Still a lot of speckles on the tires and in the wheel well. Any advice on how to get the rest off? Here’s a picture about half way through the job

    Would you have any leftover black paint around? At least your Tacoma wasn't black.

    If it’s water based latex, really hot water will do it.

    gotta pressure wash the hell out of the tires and wheel wells. If you have time, you can probably remove the wheel well liners and use a drill brush attachment on them (might work idk)

    Pressure washing is probably your best bet until it fully hardens. Just be careful which tip you use. Do not use the 0 degree tip because although you will remove the paint, you will also remove the factory paint.

    Is that road paint or house paint?
