spray paint removal of cars paint job

[nemelek]

Once I dropped a 1/4 full can of spray paint on the driveway. The nozzle broke off and sprayed my truck. I tried a lot of things and nothing really worked. Luckly the truck was freshly waxed and I was able to scrape off the little dots with my finger nail. What a mess. Good luck.

Yeah, often overspray like this is really not that well bonded to the paint.
This is because it is basically almost "dry" before it lands on the paint.

Add to this that the host paint has some wax on it and the overspray often comes off relatively easy.

I have had this happen to a couple of cars in the past and I simply used some "cleaner wax" to remove it.
