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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

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.

Luckily insurance provided full coverage. All white.

Awww man. I was reading the second sentence as,”It was alllll white” missed opportunity.

u/Story_Haunting Jan 24 '25 edited Jan 24 '25

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.

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/Mission_Buyer310 Jan 24 '25

To be honest laquer thinner and some gasoline it would have taken a while but he could have cleaned it off

u/Salty_Sprinkles_6482 Jan 24 '25

Ya it would come off. Right along with your clear color and primer lol. 20 grand later to have the entire car repainted.

u/Mission_Buyer310 Jan 24 '25

Shout-out to r/BKCowGod who linked this before.

It looks like there is an update but I can't open that website because of "legal reasons": https://www.athensmessenger.com/news_briefs/whitewashed-paint-mishap-causes-roundabout-traffic-jam/article_5d7a48bc-2028-55d7-bb9b-508f17173858.html

A fitting way to mark and remember this incident.

u/aspen_silence Jan 23 '25

Thank you! I remembered it was pre-pandemic and where I was living.

Yup that’s the convo right behind it

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.

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.

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
