Default Anyway to get spray paint overspray of the fron bumper?

I was doing some painting on some parts in the engine bay...and a spot that I did not tape off got hit. It is not bad......just some specs. It almost looks like something you would claybar out. Some of it actually scrapes off. I have not really spent anytime on it though. Should I try to claybar it?/

Thanks

Mike


I know it was boneheaded...you dont have to tell me!!!

just use some denatured alcohol and a soft polishing cloth with a little elbow grease it should come off without a problem

I waxed my car before spraying my grille. I got some overspray and I just wiped it off with microfiber and windows cleaner. It came off really easy. I bet water would have worked.

denatured alcohol is a shellac thinner (oil paint thinner) if u use denatured alcohol on your clear coat with a little elbow grease the specs WILL come off along with clear coat and maybe a little paint. you'll be a sad panda if you rub your paint down with that ****
