Removing OverSpray From Paint? :(
So yesterday i started my project to paint my side moldings on my EJ1. Well I thought i did a great job taping them off, which i followed a writeup here, and upon taking the paper off this morning (I left them dry overnight) i see I did not do such a goood job taping them off. So now i have lines of overspray. Please anyone have any ideas on how to remove some of this since its fairly fresh? Thanks

any paint remover or something like that will work. but it's also very abrasive so you will want to immediately wash, wash, and buff those areas out afterwards so your clear coat doesn't turn all hazy and fade quicker.

claybar
CLAYING
Detailing clay is used to remove embedded dirt, grime, overspray, etc from the paint without the use of abrasives. After washing your car, run your hand over the paint. If the paint has a gritty feel to it, you need to use a clay bar. There are several different claybar kits on the market, including Clay Magic, ClearKote, Meguiar's, and Mother's. Just follow the instructions on the package and you should be fine.
You can also clay your car as part of the washing process, using the soapy water as a lubricant instead of the quick detailer included in many claybar kits. Just make sure that you wash and rinse the panel before you clay to get rid of any dirt that may be on the surface.

Re: Removing OverSpray From Paint? :( (gsr_to_the_MAX)
I want to thank you so much man. I recently bought this meguairs scratch X and did a girl job trying to remove a scratch and it did nothing, well i dug it out of my supplies and after about 30 mins I am completely done. Every single mark of the black paint is gone. I am so impressed, it took quite a bit of sweat and elbow grease but it is all gone. So thanks man, you made my day. And I didnt stop there, anyone think a pinstriping removal DIY is needed?
Look above, those are the exact same shots now just 30 mins later.
