The County of Renfrew assumes no responsibility for paint damage claims from motorists who cross wet paint lines.

Facts:

• Line painting is done primarily during daylight hours
• Most County Roads and some local municipal roads are painted each year
• It takes about 2 minutes for traffic paint to dry
• Wet traffic paint on the road may splatter on your vehicle if you cross the centerline before the paint has dried

If you encounter a line painting crew on the road:

Don’t:

• Pass, unless the warning signs direct you to do so
• Cross the centerline

Do:

• Slow down and stay well behind the truck
• Obey the warning signs on the truck
• Be patient
• Unless otherwise directed, wait for the truck to pull over before passing

If your vehicle is splattered with paint:

• Go to a car wash as soon as possible
• If the paint does not wash off, spray the affected area with WD-40 and allow it to dry for 2 hours, then rewash the vehicle
• If the paint remains, consider submitting a claim to your insurer
