If its fresh you will be able to get it off using a mineral spirit, a soft touch and a bunch of time. If its been on awhile and cured, its off to the bodyshop she goes! Once that stuff cures, the clearcoat around it will come off before it does. Ask me how I know.

I always use a solvent with road paint. Stoner Tarminator works really well too.

As mentioned above, once the paint cures it is very hard to get off. Different places use different types of road paint, some comes off easy and others don't.

I've only seen this once and boy was I in for work out, my scenario was not on the paint but more on the wheel wells and wow what a pain.

AS for being on the paint I would have to agree with 911 Fanatic, once it's bonded to the paint not much you can do. I've tried removing some by hand on the wheel wells and it's nearly impossible to remove by hand, I've used Tarminator as well but it didn't do so well for me.

Well just my

So did you just have to leave it or managed to reduce it a little?

Well I reduced...a bit, but to be honest I personally felt all my efforts were waisted as it just looked back, it was a mixture of white and yellow paint. The owner was happy to see it reduced a bit but I sure wasn't pleased at all. I didn't even bother taking pictures of it because I was so disappointed, I should have as I would now be able to show the difference but oh well.

Any who Tarminator did help a bit, but the thing with Tarminator is that it works a bit slow, so it just takes time and I used various brushes, but to be honest your best bet is doing with a set of pliers that's how hard it bonds

Well just my opinion.
