Spray paint overspray- how to get off?

[69bronzeT5]

I have some primer overspray on my Duster. On the paint and windows. How do you suggest getting rid of it? I was checking it out and some water and a scrub brush should get rid of the overspray on the windows but not sure about the actual paint on the car.

I used solvent and a super thin gasket scrapper for my windows. Worked well and no scratches.

Use a clay bar on the paint & glass....no harm, no chemicals

If the clay bar dosent work. Razor blade on the glass. Buffing on the paint. If the buffing dosent work, then you may have to do a bit of color sanding first.

Just what I was about to say for the glass: Get a pack of razor blades! It goes a lot faster than you would think. Just be sure to keep a sharp blade and keep the glass clean of what you've scraped off so you don't end up scratching it.

and use some glass cleaner on the glass to lube the blade and it will be far less apt to scratch. You will also use less blades.

Cody,
Do you have any pictures of the overspray on the paint?  Windows have been covered and it appears you have already removed that but...in the future glass cleaner(lots) and blades. Clean the window first to get any grit off prior to putting a blade to it.  Nice and slow with the blade and keep it flat to the surface, if you just go back and forth you will eventually tilt the blade and scratch your windows.

Don't put a buffing wheel to that primer unless you wet sand it off first. Do you have enough clear left on the paint to do this?  Most likely not form your other posts, but pictures would be nice.


Is this new primer or very old primer??? If it's new, a quick scrubbing with a cloth and some supersolve(trim and adhesive remover) would also work if followed by washing with soap and water.

I don't have any pictures but the primer is about a week old.

Nail polish remover will take the paint of the glass.

Is it just little spots or is it like full on paint over the paint

[69bronzeT5]

full on paint over the paint

Does the paint underneath still have enough clear to wet sand the primer and buff the original paint.  Man, I wish I was there to help you.

I honestly don't know. I'm going to try to scrub it off first.

I would try wax and grease remover first (least aggressive) Soak a rag in it and lay it over the spray painted area, let it soak a few mins and it might come off. It takes fresh paint right off.

I've used fine steel wool on glass before with good results. LEON.
