Okay I have a black car. Last night I thought I heard something going on outside my house. I didn't think much of it. Then I went to my car just now. I found like a big spot on my car that was yellow and it looked bubbly. I thought it was like a gigantic eagle or some sort of huge bird poop. But it was like too big of spot to be that. So I washed that area, and what remains is green stuff on my black car. Basically that yellow stuff made my car green. The same spots that the yellow stuff were, it's now green, and I can't get it out. What do you think it was? How can I get rid of it?
So it was like yellow, it was hard but you can take it off, but what remains is like green stuff that won't come off? You think someone spilled acid or some chemicals on purpose to my car. I think I know who it might be. Might have gone with a friend to do it.

ok well it sounds like someone might have shot a paintball at your car because something similar happened to my friend but you can never be too sure before you can make an accusation like that. good luck cleaning it off and you might find something good for it at an autozone or an other place.

I have seen a couple of Cars that Acid was put on and it Bubbled the Paint and it Peeled it off like a Persons Skin that was Burnt.With bits of Paint Fragments hanging like Skin all over the Roof and Bonnet but no Colour Stain. It looks like a Corrosive chemical to me that has left a Green Stain.One Car belonged to a Work Colleague that lived in a Rough Area and he surmised they were jealous of him for having a Job.Another Person I know that it happened to was a Grudge thing like a Family acquaintance, but there was no Stain just bare Patches with Paint Flaking off like Skin, so I surmise with you it is a Chemical.

That is somewhat vague to go by without actually seeing it. Have you tried paint thinner on the spot, or acetone(just a dab on a rag and rub it on the spot and see if something happens...if not immediate, then it won't work) Also try rubbing compound just to see if it moves. If rubbing compound does not take it off, then you know it is a chemical reaction, and the black has changed color. What would do that I do not know. Acid is less harmful to the paint job than a base(like slaked lime)- that will eat the paint.
If it is a chemical reaction right into the paint, then only solution is to spot paint.

I park my car's inside my two car garage. I know most people keep $2,000 junk old furniture and kids toys and things they haven't seen in years in there two car garages. And keep $70,000 worth of cars outside. Neighbor up the street lost a lawn mower in his garage junk bought a new one. Swimming pool Muriatic acid will turn orange and bubbley on concrete and that burnt area might be of that chemical on paint.. Really good waxing would have kept the acid from getting to the paint. Now your alternative is to color sand the area with 800 grit wet sand paper then proceed to 1000 grit then 1500grit sand in front to rear strokes with a rubber sand paper block. Then with a buffer use orange rubbing compound to bring the gloss back. all of this providing there is enough paint left. Then on black cars I use liquid ebony polish use that on the entire car off to the car wash clean any polish spray off dry the car watter will bead like the car is protected. But not so fast it is now time to apply two coats of wax. I charge $100 for a car polishing and 150 for finish repair and rewax. I would also respray the area black and clear coat if necessary. Find the guilty party and call the cops. Hope you have pictures of the damage for evidence.

If you can still feel roughness on the paint, go to autozone or similar store and purchase a clay bar kit. Follow the directions on the box. If you car has a clear coat on it I can't really see a paintball turning it green. Try a cleaner wax also. If all those fail take it to a body shop and see if they can buff it out. If they can't you'll need to get it repainted.

Coralline! The paint is to be tough but not that tough. The yellow is from rust. Clarine + sodium makes salt and Coralline is what caroads steal.
Paint balls are organic and only leave dents.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. I wish I had some advice but I just don't know what to do! Good luck with the spot.

It sounds like your problem is egg, and you might check to see is there is any shell residue on the driveway. eggs will take the paint off quick.

take it to a detail shop and have the car detailed. if they can't get it out, you are probably out of luck
