Default Splashed Paint

Drove thru, of all things, a puddle containing paint....
The front wheel well is splashed with it, I dont think there is much I can do about that but
that black trim below the drivers side door has a good bit of it. I also got some on the door but was able to remove that.
I tried turpentine to remove it but not much luck, not sure what that black trim material is..
Also have some paint on the rear tire...
Any suggestions? I was thinking of just buying a spray black paint to cover it...
BUt I'd rather ask you people FIRST.

you could try treating it like road tar and spray some wd-40 on there and lit it sit for a minute, then scrape at it with your thumb nail.... depends on what type of paint it is I guess...
