Any way to get yellow pylon paint off? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

K-Rex · 03-31-2007, 10:39 AM

I occasionally drive an ominbus for my job and last night leaving the Sixers game I was parked in a bad spot and had to make a wide turn just before the exit gate. I couldn't get the bus lined up straight to get out of the gate and there were a million people behind me so I couldn't back up. I tried my best to get through with angle I had but got a 3 foot long yellow strip from scraping one of those yellow concrete pylons like you would see at a toll both.

Is there anyway to get that paint off? Anything, to even make it look better?

When you touch it...does the surface feel different than the regular paint?

If so some yellow or blue (denser) clay bar might work for you.

Hit me up if you need help and//or details.

Yea it feels as if there is a thin layer of plastic on top of the regular paint. I'll get a pic later and post it here.

Turtle wax rubbing compound FTW! I spent like 40 dollars and every type of scratch remover, clay bay, and rags Pep Boys had. The $3 can of rubbing compound got almost all of the yellow paint off.

There are still little patches of yellow and small scrapes and scratches, but from 3 feet away you can't see anything. It was a line about 2 inches thick by 4 feet long. I just hope I didn't rub the clear coat off
