How bad is it, have you got pictures?

hot water usually helps, we used to use hot water and a blade on the vans at work. But no doubt if your not careful you will take the paint off.

Looking at your paint the other day mate, dont go anywhere near it with thinners etc it will just destroy it. Get some hot soapy water and just spend a good few hours picking it off lol.

If its large blobs of it, chip it off with a screw driver but be very careful not to scratch the paint. Its comcrete on smooth paint so its not going to be able to grip very well so it should come off pretty easy. But give it a good clean off when done and give it a run with T-Cut as the concrete can eat your paintwork.

you wont get it off mate without scratching the paint its virtualy impossible belive me i have it splashing all over the digger when working, and the bits ive missed and not cleaned off,just stay there why not rub it all down and have it repainted,the paintwork didnt look to clever when i saw it.
