I took my car to a awful body shop and i dont know what the guy was thinking but he put black touch up paint all over the front bumper (i have a green accord).............. and when i told him that he did he denied it, and I was wondering if any of you guys had any idea of how i could take it off???

Boy, does that sound familiar. In NJ by any chance?

Can you post a pic of the paint? Once dry it's gonna be a real pita to get off.

Langka works great. I have used it many times and it lasts FOREVER! I have used it a week or 2 after a touch up mistake (overdid the paint) and it still worked like a charm in getting the excess paint off.

Was this at night-time? Was the body-shop/paint-guy color blind? Was it truly black, or a very dark shade of green? I can perhaps understand a mis-matching green shade, but a total different color... wth?!? :D

Depending on how skilled & detail-oriented you or someone else may be, there are numerous paint-stripper products available. It goes w/o saying that any such product needs to be applied conservatively & cautiously (w/ a Q-tip/toothpick) & promptly removed immediately so the underneath/surrounding paint-finish isn't removed. It's not rocket-science, but as aforementioned- a lot of patience & care is required (only dab & remove immediately, repeat...). With all that said, it's very effective. . .

No it does not. Do a google search for langka touch up paint removal and read some of the posts on other forums that it finds. Should all be positive. It was quick and easy for me. Give it a try and you won't be disapointed. It blew me away. Good luck. I see thy sell a 2 oz bottle. The one I bought was the 4 I think and it is wayyy too much. The 2 oz should be plenty enough.

thanks everyone for the advice, im gonna try the langka, do any stores sell it?? or is it only online?? osiris i will post a pic in 2 days when i get back home, it looks black to me.

Never seen it in a store, but have never looked. I bought it when I severely over touch-up'd my white altima. I freaked and ordered it that night. Got it a few days later and with the help on the credit card blank they sent, some langka, an old soft sock and some elbow grease my hood looked as if no touch up paint was ever applied (that was my goal). I used it one other time on my pilot but that's it. I know it is there if I need it though.

+1 on the Langka :thmsup:

Used it on a rock chip recently and it worked just as promised. I was amazed with the ease at which it removed my touchup blob and leveled it with the surrounding paint. It didn't effect the factory paint in the least.

Any results yet? I'm curious.

Did this guy put clear over the top of it? If you are planning on getting it re touched up, you may want to ask another shop what to do. They may prefer to take it off themselves or sand his paint and paint over it.
