Default spray paint removal

i have a f2 streetfighter/stuntbike project that i am working on. one of the past owners spray painted the fairings while they were still on the bike . i have overspray on the frame and engine covers, anyone know of anything that will get the paint off without damaging the frame's finish too much.

if it is a stunt bike, why don't you get some metal paint, strip it down, and paint the frame flat black? my .02

Overspray can usually be buffed out with quality polish. Acetone will remove paint but be careful on painted surfaces.

You could ride into a telephone pole if your not careful just as easy.

Oh yeah, maybe I should add that I know a guy that paints fairings and whatnot for a living and has used this product successfully. As with anything else you need to use a little caution and common sense.

Goof off works great. I used it to remove spray paint from a car once and it removed the spray paint and the base paint as well. Only use is on unpainted / unfinished surfaces.
