Removing paint from a car....help!?

Yesterday while driving I ran through some paint that had dropped from a truck. I saw the paint but couldn't stop in time and now have paint splatter all over my wheels and the bottom of my Escape...any thoughts on how to remove it? It was Killz brand....Removing paint from a car....help!?
DO NOT USE ACETONE!!! it will remove the original paint. get yourself some naptha. it will take off the paint that splashed on your car, but won't hurt your car paint. It will take off any car wax you had on , so make sure you re apply it. Just put some naptha on a rag and gently rub in a circular motion.Removing paint from a car....help!?
Try rubbing alcohol - do not use Brake Fluid - there is more than one type of Kilz - one uses alcohol as a solvent and I believe the other is Latex - if alcohol does not work then try OOPs in a small location and see if it works and does not hurt the paint of the car - you may need to go to a body shop - they can buff it off where it is visible.
DO NOT!! use brake fluid, it will remove all the paint, including the original. You could try paint thinner, varsol, or acetone, May need to buff and polish the area though . If you can take it to a body shop and see what they say. Good luck
brand doesnt matter. your best bet is to grind it. slowly!!! so then you wont hit the actual paint.... dont use paint thinners. b/c youll ruin the real paint. other wise its your fault for not pulling to the side of the road and wiping it off right away. or missing the paint. and if your driving an escape the paint prolly makes it like better b/c it makes it original. haha sorry. im a chevy man
try this, take a rag pour a little goo be gone on it and wipe a small part of your car until paint thin out. also try this same thing with paint thinner it may dull your car ,but a good wax job should take of that good luck!.
Elbow grease and T-Cut then wax or if no good a very fine sand paper and wax, only on effected areas though.
Use Break Fluid
