Got sprayed on
I was driving to a meeting in the Brickell area of Miami (financial district) and there is so much construction going on that the traffic was at a standstill. Suddenly, it looked like it was snowing. I couldn't see where the white spray was coming from, but when I got into the parking garage the WHOLE car was sprayed with a white chalky substance. Luckily, there was some car wash guys in the building and they were able to wash everything off. Whew!!!
Sorry for the crappy pictures, but I was (a) very pissed off and (b) very late for a meeting.

glad it came off - and that you had a color that was noticible right away -maybe us AW guys would have missed it!
This is where a good quality paint sealant comes in handy. Not fool proof but helps.

I walked outside once and they were using a concrete saw on the sidewalk infront of my old house. It was a solid foot or two from my car.
Absolutely blasted it with concrete dust. I was home the whole time they were working, didn't realize what they were doing until I happened to walk by. I was super unhappy. Fortunately, I was able to spray the dust off without any damage.

I got striping paint on my '70 SS Nova years ago and never did get it off of the rocker panels.
