My wife ran up against the painted wooden edge of our garage door while
backing out the car. Now we have a scraped bright green against our dark
grey, which shows up quite a bit.

I used a lot of elbow grease, plus some soap & water, hoping that it
might just be water based paint that would come off somewhat easily. It
didn't work. Then I tried mineral spirits, hoping that might take it off.

Most of the paint is on a plastic or rubber "bump guard", but a small
amount of it is on the actual driver side door.

Anyone have any suggestions on other concoctions that I might try to get
it off?

Thanks!

Between being snowed in, taking care of grandkids on sick/snow days and
having flu, I've been slow getting around to doing anything about the
paint rub on my pretty little silver Toyota. I rubbed a streak of blue
paint onto the door from a broom whilst removing snow. Got the Turtle
Wax, in a pour bottle, not spray....soft cloth and fairly strenuous
rubbing got all of the blue paint off with no visible difference in the
gloss on the clear coat. 16 oz. can, about $4.99; I used about 4 drops )
