Default i need spraypaint removal advices

while driving awa today, my friend notices a line on the back of my car and he called me up saying it looks like somebody spraypainted my car. i pulled over and went out to check and i saw like a foot-long line of orange paint. it turned out somebody sprayed my car and i have NO IDEA who. probably a random hate crime/vandalism. stupid kids.

any of your guys have advices as to how to remove the spray paint? it doesnt have to look perfect or anything. i just want it to look black again without having to buy black paint and spray it myself. any help is appreciated.

i would possibly try a little mineral spirits/paint thinner(from home depot or lowes or wherever)the weakest **** they sell(and possibly even water it down after you get that) and test a little spot to see if it budges that orange paint any without totally ruining the rest of your black paint..also,as weird as this sounds..try a little WD-40 on a rag and see if that does anything..that really sucks man..good luck.
