Thank goodness for mud flaps

Somebody decided signs were unnecessary for wherever I drove over a paint line today. Thank goodness the mud flaps caught the worst of it.

I think it was a paint puddle considering how much volume ended up in my tire tread and coating my underside.

It scraped off the rock rail and paint pretty easily. Guess I have to live with yellow mudflaps and wheel wells now, the pressure washer didn’t do much on those surfaces.

Yikes. If you caught it soon enough, it should just power wash right off.

Depending on the road authority, the City/County/State should have insurance for these type of issues. They hand out claims all the time. It’s worth checking out if any damage was done.

I went home and cleaned off the most visible spots on the rock rail, front bumper, and body paint an hour after it happened. The rest will not budge with a power washer. Some areas I may be able to clean off later, but I doubt it will ever fully come off.

I’ve already submitted a complaint to the city Public Works department. Hopefully I will hear back tomorrow.
