Wet sand with 1500 or so.

Lacquer thinner will clean it right off, you may have to work for it.

way to aggressive.


you always want to start with the least aggressive methods first. i'd first try clay, or the lacquer thinner. depending on the paint that was sparyed on, that probably won't work. and the longer the paint sits on the car, the harder it will be to get off.

if that happened to me, i'd clay the whole car...even the windows because paint mist is going to be all over it. then i'd use an orbital polisher with a polishing compound to wear it off the car. you'll have to polish the whole car to match the polished panels. later.

if you do use any solvents i'd dilute, and make sure you immediately clean/treat/polish/wax ur clear coat

Yeah. That would be my last resort. I'm just saying if all else fails. Personally, I'd use acetone.

Good shit. They painted on the windows as well. I'm going to go at it in the morning. I ended up buying the car for 240 bucks. I don't have Internet right now for pics. But will def let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks again
