FHP said the paint spilled after the buckets shifted on the driver's open flatbed trailer.
Photos provided by FHP showed that the paint was making it hard to tell where the road lines were for drivers.
Clean up took crews several hours.
FHP said motorists with damage from the spilled paint should contact the trucking company's claims coordinator John Cahill at 201-748-3059.
