    You must have caught it quick. Brake fluid normally washes rattle can paint right off.

    If it's just discolored you might try some rubbing compound.

    Brake fluid is one of the worst chemicals to get on your paint. Especially a rattle can job. Remember even if it says 'chemical resistant', if its a rattle can it is not!
