    How do you actually know it's an acid stain?

    Shoot us a few pictures of it and hopefully we'll be able to help from there .

    If whatever has come in contact with the paint has chemically etched the paint you will find it very hard to remove.

    Can you feel any paint missing? Is there a contaminant built up on the paint surface? What colour is the paint?

    If there is just a stain you may be able to polish it out but it will need some serious machine paint correction, more than likely by a pro.

    no paint missing. and it a black paint. it looks like a big water mark, the same mark when you wash your car and didn't dry it, but it's very light.

    i try to avoid the respray if i can mate.
