    You should be able to put a claim in with whoever owns the parking lot and had this work done. The sooner you do it the better!!!! I know I use to handle these types of claims

    I wouldn't even attempt to remove anything. I would have immediately called police and filed a report. Photograph the lot and damage and file a claim.
    We're there any signs indicating the work and the lot being off limits?
    Did you ride over the painted lines?

    The guy that paints those line in the parking lot so we can try to park between them. They will sometimes walk their paint machine around parked vehicles and paint splaters...they shouln't... owner of the lot should deal with it and the company in charge of stripping the parking lot...

    on the tires you can use paint thinner, on the body either wax & silicone remover/body prepsol or compound/polish to remove

    Start with Googone, if you have to use GOOFOFF after that, but check in an inconspicuous place first.
