Well first I would just trying frame averaging a bazillion frames or using block texture and a card and then paint back in the road lines. and if that didn't work I would use Median in Photoshop. Its like $20 a month to rent in CC if you don't already have it on some machine and photoshop will read and write dpx. Unless you are billing by the hour then I would paint it in nuke. (and really if I was painting a clean plate from frames I would still do it in photoshop by loading frames as layers and revealing through because you just have such better paint tools and you have 16 bit paint if you are painting on dpx so that plenty of head room.
