i'm a painter in the summer, so i can solve this little problem. take a rag or old shirt and dip it in paint thinner and try to rub it off. it it doesnt rub off then thats ok....just take a razor blade and carefully scrape it off. it wont scratch your window if u do it right.

if you are going to do the razor thing, do it but have a spray bottle full of water and soap (use a mild soap solution) and spray it and pass the razor, that way it's harder to scratch the windshield

Thanks guys!!For anyone else who is wondering, the best way to get overspray off your windows is to do this: (This method WILL take any over spray off very effortlessly:
1. Soak the windshield in "Orange Clean"
2. Let sit for atleast 2 minutes.
3. Wipe off all the paint that came off that time and then take the razor blade and carefully take off the rest-the overspray should come off fairly easy because of the orange clean.
4. Wipe off any excess stuff with a paper towel and some water and presto-perfect.
Thanks for the help Smuggy and gzero

ultra-fine steel wool works great on glass and chrome, too. it WONT scratch anything... just make sure its the ULTRA fine. and razors work, and paint thinner works.

xylene wil take it right off, no sweat, just poor some xylene on the rag (try not to get the urge to inhale it ) and rub it on there
