Default extra paint on wheels??

i jsut recently got my car painted and there is a little overspray on to one of the rims. it is a bronze rota C8 and the paint is white. i have scrubbed it for a while and it comes off it just takes a very long time. is there any thing i can use to get the paint off but not the bronze color. i was thinking a type of paint thinner acetone (SP). do you think that would work. i need help quick

If you have ***** use laquer thinner (apply to a rag and scrub really quickly).


Edit: after reading you guys posts...... Do not use paint thinner! You can use Laquer thinner, just do as I said....

if your going to use the paint thinner dont use much at all and see how it works....


or test it on the back of the wheel to see if it will take the bronze off

Yup, I wouldnt reccomend doing anything with chemicals...just elbow grease, but if you do decide on the chemicals, make sure to test it where you can't see!!!

the bronze will come off. DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF THINNER.

USE A CLAY BAR OR BUG AND TAR REMOVER.
