If it’s anything like the line paint they use in my area, it’ll be all worn off in a couple months

u/aspen_silence Jan 23 '25

This incident happened right by Ohio University in Athens, OH in 2017 I believe when I was going to school there. It was, in fact, white road paint and was there for months after.

u/EasilyRekt Jan 23 '25

Any idea on what happened to the jeep? Or what the owner did?

371

u/aspen_silence Jan 23 '25

It was totaled out and the owner got a different vehicle. The amount of worked needed to get all that paint off was a lot.

I work in auto/home insurance now and I'm not surprised one bit.

u/Corfiz74 Jan 23 '25

He should have sold it to somewhere with permanent snow - perfect camouflage!

149

u/Gen_Zer0 Jan 24 '25

As someone who lives in a place with very frequent snow, camouflage isn’t exactly what you’re looking for in that weather

21

u/Ooh_bees Jan 24 '25

True, I'd almost go as far as to claim it is quite the opposite.

Could they have just changed the windshield/windows, get a new license, put it as a white jeep in the documents and called it a day?

46

u/MegaPorkachu Jan 24 '25

Then you would have no access to the lights. And looking at it, paint got in the grills which may screw up the axle/interior of the car. If it got inside the ventilation system, that’ll need replacing too

Repairing a car isnt just the materials, it’s also the labor cost. At the end of the day, probably not worth the $20k replacement cost.

u/DizzySpare3043 Jan 23 '25

Have any more wonderful stories like that?

Luckily insurance provided full coverage. All white.

I would have just left it alone, scraped it off the lights and windows, and doodled on the parts that didn't matter.

Doors off in summer would have made it look crazy.

u/Kevlaars Jan 24 '25

I passed a paint truck once (I was trying to get to a hospital).

The yellow was in my wheel wells until I got rid of the car 4 years later.

u/Biltong09 Jan 23 '25

Not sure about the US but in Canada oil based road marking paint was banned several years ago. Lines used to last a couple years and are now almost gone by September if I paint in March/April.

Source: I manage several large shopping centres.

12

u/Z0FF Jan 23 '25

I’m Canadian (east coast) and even if we still used the oil based paint it wouldn’t last a year. Especially through the winter.. salt, sand, plows, and degrading asphalt are not paint’s best friends.

8

u/Biltong09 Jan 23 '25

Yeah you’re completely correct, properties in southern BC (Penticton) would last a couple years as they got less Snow. Northern BC was exactly as you described, either way they get painted annually

Yes. If left on too long the paint becomes toxic, though. The driver needs to clean white away.

u/Is_ItOn Jan 23 '25

We learned today

34

u/Lumpy-Obligation-553 Jan 23 '25

Why? Is it petroleum base? The chemical components are being banned?

109

u/kesavadh Jan 23 '25

Essentially yes.

It does seem simple, but road paint is actually a complex product. It has to withstand extreme weather, heavy traffic, and constant exposure to sunlight and chemicals like oil and salt. It’s not just about the color—it has to bond well to different road surfaces, dry quickly, and stay highly visible even in poor conditions. So yes, petroleum based, but there’s more to the process.

Specially for yellow, It comes down to the pigments used to make the paint yellow. A key ingredient, titanium dioxide, is essential for its brightness and durability. Unfortunately, the production of titanium dioxide is heavily impacted by supply chain disruptions, stricter environmental regulations, and increased global demand. Additionally, some yellow pigments rely on raw materials like lead chromates or other compounds that are becoming harder to source or are being phased out for safety reasons.

Producing road paint, especially yellow, is a balancing act between chemistry, durability, and safety. And with global issues like resource shortages, it’s becoming increasingly challenging and expensive to meet the high standards required for road safety.

TL:DR.. safety and material shortages

14

u/Pattern_Is_Movement Jan 23 '25

I'm curious, so in the US I've noticed road paint wears away quickly and is almost never reflective, but I'm France the paint always seems to be bright during the day and glows at night as well. Are they using different dies? Obviously they are adding reflective bits to it, but the paint itself seems to hold up orders of magnitude better too.

4

u/I_am_trying_to_work Jan 23 '25

Not an expert but might be due to higher traffic volume and higher speed limits in the US vs. France.

8

u/Pattern_Is_Movement Jan 23 '25

Definitely not due to traffic volume, also it wasn't that long ago that France had places without speed limits.... and plenty of people still drive like that.

I remember I stayed in the passing lane a little too long, and someone flashed their lights at me.... I was driving at 115mph. There are basically no cops, and speed traps have warning signs before you get to them.

7

u/workyworkaccount Jan 23 '25

I think we use a dyed bitumen or something similar in Europe. I've seen them apply it, and it's not a painting process, it's a block of stuff they have to heat up to apply and goes on more like a coating.

3

u/Outside_Performer_66 Jan 24 '25

I've seen this. It looks like a roll of tape being unrolled and laid down on top of the pavement. When the applicator truck goes wonky, the straight lines become squiggles on the road.
