The good lady paid a nice chap to go up ladders and paint all the wood on the house, sensible chap asked her to move the tiguan never thought to ask for the lude to be shifted. Today I find I have a leopard Lude, silver with just a dash of red.... what an ass
. Is Tcut the best way forward?
Cheers Guys

1. Chuck more paint on the Lude
2. Blame nice chap
3. Get paid for paint work (lol irony)

What does the tin/safety data sheet say?
It's designed to go onto porous material and sink in rather than skin dry, so I'd expect it will come off a non-porous car body easily enough with a solvent (something like white spirit, which will have no effect on the original lude paintwork).

REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Creosote etches itself and eats away at lacquers and stains it brown.
2k thinners, polish. Even wetsnading wouldnt removing it off a customers car of mine.

Well that's a surprise. Modern creosote is such weedy stuff compared to how it used to be!

I hope you get this sorted. Same thing happened to my folks, with masonry paint!

Looking at the houses in your avatar, I'd guess it's Sadolin & not real creosote (with its lovely smell!) which is rarely used these days.
If so, it will come off with white spirit, or flick off (language!) once dried.
Getting cornish cream masonry paint (windspray) off my BRG MX-5 wth a fingernail was easy. Getting the flecks off the PVC roof was an absolute cowson.
