Idiot of the day/month/year!

I am the "lucky" one today. Bought agallon of paint and spilled all over the bed and bumper on the way home.
So flipping mad at my self, i even had rubber tights in my truck to secure it. You might ask why you didn't tightened-read the title of this thread! Now I don't like my truck anymore, thinking about trading in. Maybe I just need a 2017 TRD pro... Or... 1995 ford escort-more likely!

Any idea how to clean up black plastic on the bumper? I don't care about bed, would like at least clean up back of the bumper. Tried pressure washing this is the best I can get.
Thanks!

Here is a couple pics

 

A plate bumper

 

I'm pretty sure you're not the first.

 

scrub it. but its a truck dont worry about it
i remember in my STI a gallon of strawberry syrup ruptured in the back. man that was fun.

 

OP ... be careful and spray only a small test spot first, but I used "brake clean" to remove some paint before. Be careful as the plastic can get damaged if too much. Mine was house paint from a roller that fell out of a bucket.

 

Even if you can't clean it, should be pretty cheap to replace.
I'm not sure if aftermarket parts are available yet, but should be cheap at aftermarket body part store. Here there is LKQ and national parts dist. that wholesale body parts.

 

I have LKQ locally too. Will give them a call if it doesn't clean off.
Thx

 

Mine was some water based exterior paint.

 

Here is a picture of lucky too...

 

That part will be pretty expensive. I have to replace the little bumper cover on left side, it's 130 for that unpainted.

 

I'm sure, it's still a new body.

 

Maybe goof-off?

 

Maybe, have to get some tomorrow.

 

Damnnnn, that sucks, sorry brother. Hopefully you can get it all off without damaging the paint or anything!

 

Thanks. I hope so too!

You'll be fine I think, just let us know what you end up using/what works best so if we ever mess up we can take care of it

 

ask yourself this:

if this happened to your wife, would you trade her in, or get her cleaned?

theres your answer.

If it's water based latex it should come off with hot water and a little elbow grease.
