Help! Paint in the road is now on my car!

I was coming back from the beach the other day and saw some guy picking up some buckets that fell out of his truck into the road. Noticed he was a painter and didn't think much of it. Turns out he spilled some gray paint in the road, and because of the age of the road it blended right in. So needless to say I've got light gray paint on my super black maxima. It's fairly thick along the bottom of the driver's side door and then little bits of spray up the back door. Of course I didn't notice immediately and didn't get a chance to wash it off before it dried, so it's there. Now what do I need to do to get this crap off of my car. I love having a clean car, and feel like the thing is constantly dirty now because of this. Not to mention I have a two tone max now.
Any help would be awesome. I'm willing to try pretty much anything right now, that won't kill the clear coat or the rest of my crappy nissan paint.
So if there are any experts out there, please help!

Rotten luck man. I'd try a clay bar. It may pickup the paint if there was a good coat of wax underneath. Hopefully it didn't adhere properly.
