I assume you're talking about that f**kin road paint (the stuff they use to mark the lanes, yellow or white). Keep in mind, this stuff is pretty resilient to anything minus a visit to the body shop. You can however try this clay rubbing compound available at most auto stores, they know what you're talking about when you ask them. There are two versions: Green and red I believe. I think green is better than the red, or whatever is more expensive. If it does not come with the liquid compound, then BUY it. Prepare to spend hours removing every little bit and piece out of your hull.

I did this once with my Max only because there were no signs up that the paint was wet, I ran over it, it splattered on my car, and I was ****ed as hell. I pulled over, took pictures of the site, and got the name of the construction company. I called the construction company and they refused to pay, then I called the city who hired the company and they paid it. Made a huge deal though, threatened to sue both if none paid for it. I took it to a body shop, but I'm not sure what they did other than buff it out.

Good luck!
