Hmmm that doesn't make sense because I know here they don't use paint. I work for a traffic engineering firm and all I have ever heard of people using is plasti-coat stuff that is actually heated up to make stick to the road. I am sure you can go to your county officials and talk to them about it. I bent 2 rims on potholes when I had my truck and I had the country replace them. They were $375 a piece also. If you are going to do that I would do it TODAY!

I feel your pain
 
You need to call the city or county and complain, but I doubt they give you any help.

To remove the paint's going to take some effort. The best way is to use something like denatured alcohol to gently attack the stains. This will also remove all your wax, so you'll be needing to re-wax the ride after all this.

Work slow and on a small patch at a time. Don't get too aggressive, and be sure to use a soft rag to do the rubbing. Make sure the car is clean as a whistle before you start with the crud removal.

If alcohol doesn't work on the painted components, you may have to resort to a mild buffing compound to get all the residue off. I like the Meguiare's system.

As for the wheel wells , the best way to attack them is with the wheel removed and starting with something like brake cleaner or degreaser. Usually this will do the trick for the plastic fender liners.

Your wheels sound like the "silver" variety, which means they are coated and you have to avoid too vigorous a workout with buffing compounds or solvents.

I suspect enough elbow grease and some bug juice (for removing dead bugs) will work.

Goodluck. Same damn thing has happened to me.

The easiest way and safest on your paint is to use a clay bar. I wouldn't touch it with any compound or even alcohol because you could ruin your clearcoat if you aren't careful. The claybar is completely safe for your paint but you have to make sure you keep the surface wet with soapy water or the lubricant that comes with it.

none of those things listed will remover the line paint. **** is like a rock. its on, its not coming off. lol just chip it and bond it lol. ive chipped paint splatters off my car with a plastic spackle knife. didnt damage my clear coat either. but that was house paint. ive gotten the road paint on my old cavalier and it wouldnt come off at all.

I didnt understand a word in that slop of mess you call a reply. There is NO type of punctuation...

It is actually kinda funny to look at!
The orange/yellow is on each of his tires, and all over the left front front bumper and fender where they come the closest to the ground, yeah, different, and hilarious... what with the paint embedded in the tread... :p
