Road Paint
For your viewing pleasure. I ran over a bunch of white paint on Sunday on my way to an Autocross (I was trailering).
Here is what the car looked like:
And after two days of cleaning:
I still need to clean my street wheels and tires.

on the constructive side, get yourself some automobile cleaning clay and clay the **** off that kicked up 'overspray'.
(It was originally brought out for just this problem in the auto painting world: cleaning off overspray. Go figure. Now, nobody connects it that much with that original duty...)
edit:
Oops! Looks like it's all better. (except those tires!)
Actually, I perversely liked the white-on-black splatter. Gave it a super 'Go Fast' look!

First I went with hot water and Dawn dish soap. Then I went with Bug and Tar remover that was safe on paint. Then more soap and hot water. Finally clay bar and lubricant like elbee964 suggested. It took a lot of time and patience.

The image does not show because you are linking to a web page, not just an image.
I think I might have a brain hemorrhage if I painted my car like that.
Nice recovery!
