Probably to some extent. Oil based base paint is acidic in nature, so I imagine sodium hydroxide will break it down - but you will be removing it layer-by-layer this way. Causic soda (NaOH, or Sodium Hydroxide) is a strongly alkaline solution.
Car paint is applied in a kind of large over. There is generally a base layer, and a finishing coat.
If you plan on using caustic soda, remember it is called 'caustic' for a reason. It will cause painful chemical burns to your skin on contact.
If you do come in contact with caustic soda, you should use a mild acid to neutralise it (like vinegar [ethanoic/acetic acid]) Trying to wash off caustic soda will only make matters worse.
If you want to remove car paintwork, you are best applying some kind of solvent - for example, paint stripper. Preferably one that is specifically designed for the purpose. All such products are extremely volatile, and give off strong fumes - and are probably quite nasty.
It is also possible to burn off paint, but again it probably results in toxic fumes.
For those planning on vandalising someone's car, please don't. Vandalism is the activity of a mentally deficient, mindless, sub-peasant halfwit.

What happens if soda in car engine?
Pouring soda into a car engine can cause serious damage, as the sticky sugar can coat and clog components like fuel injectors and valves. This can lead to engine misfires, rough running, and potentially even engine failure. It's important to flush out the soda and have a mechanic inspect the engine if soda gets into it.
Is soda a solvent?
Soda contains phosphoric acid, so it is a mild solvent. It also takes the rust off car bumpers, and I'm not kidding.
How do you remove permanent marker pen from car paintwork?
You could try a bit of rubbing alcohol. It works pretty well on non-porous surfaces. If it has soaked into the surface, you may have to use a mild buffing compound, but this can have a negative effect on the overall surface and if you aren't careful you could go through the paint.
Will rubber burn?
YES!!!! . If it is rubber car tyres, then the smell is very acrid/horrible.
How does paint protect metal and what happens to the paint cracks?
The paint forms a seal and prevents water and air from reaching the metal surface and prevents corrosion or rust from forming. A crack in the paint would allow water to reach the metal and cause corrosion or rusting beneath the paint surface, out of sight until the rust becomes visible. A road chip thrown against a car's paintwork is a likely cause of pitting on a car - which spreads and causes rust holes in the car's bodywork unless treated as soon as possible.

Will sand damage car paintwork?

Why do people use car wax on their cars?
I wax my car firstly to protect the paintwork. If I don't wax it then oxidation and weathering can irreversibly damage the paintwork to the point where no amount of wax will make it shine nicely. I have seen nasty cars with faded horrible paintwork (especially red cars for some reason) and I never want my car's paintwork to look that awful. If I go to a car wash it will come out very nice with still the protective layer of wax maintaining the paintwork underneath
Will kerosene clean car paintwork?
It depends on what you are trying to clean off the car's paintwork. If you are trying to remove road tar yes, but WD40 will do the same and not harm the paintwork. If you must use kerosene try a small inconspicuous spot first, and wash off thoroughly with soapy water and then rinse well

Can i you use caustic potash flake as a neutralize on a large amount of spilled car battery acid?
To neutralize a strong acid you need a weak alkali. You've done enough damage, so I would stay away from anything that says caustic on it or you're going to end up blind or gassed. Try a box of Bicarbonate of Soda first. Or just slam it with buckets of water and dilute it.
You spilled gas in your car how can you get it out?
