Then I tried MEK, it worked but it also affected the paint on the car. Any suggestions?? I'm thinking maybe a hair dryer to maybe peel it off. Please, I need a miracle here, thanks, John.
I asked this same question some time ago. Here's Andrew's response. I hope this helps.

'finger nail polish remover' works great to remove road paint off of your cars metal/rim surfaces... just be careful using it on plastics...

place the remover on a towel & rub lightly... it will require a polish after paint removal.
