The number of white lines down the road beyond it would indicate that I am far, far from alone in having got splattered!!!

Thanks for the advice Gary, about Cellulose paint reacting with the turps based paint. Looks like many hours will be spent with a wire brush.....what about nitromors or paint stripper....or would this react horribly with any of the metal alloys used on the standard monster engine?

Looks like Chappers got there just before me.....that's about the way it was, don't like to think what would have happened if I been braking hard as I slid into that lot with juggernauts coming straight towards me.....Madhatter Paste probably...
Ahh... I see no where to go - what a bummer. Nitromores strips just about anything (including skin if you don't wear rubber gloves) and may take the original paint off the engine too. If your planning to re-paint anyway this won't be a problem, but I think nitromores might attack plastic too so be carefull where you splash it

Good luck with the clean up operation
