Unfortunately brake fluid has got onto the paintwork of a car. The car is 1970's and I believe the paintwork is original. There are four drips in total and they have run in a straight line. The paint has reacted and is a lighter shade of the car's real colour.
Is this a repaint job or can anything be done to restore the paintwork?

Bad luck,thats back to metal and repaint or it will "mark" for ever.If its original 70`s paint find a classic expert as normal body shops will not have that type of paint (new laws etc).
