Default How to remove paint overspray on rubber window trims?

Like the topic says, I have a little overspray on the rear rear window rubber, how do I remove it from the rubber? Searched but all it had was how to remove overspray from surfaces that are already painted. TIA

if its fresh paint, use some Prepsol (wax and grease remover) your going to need a lot and scrub the rubber with a rag soaked in it, it will soften up and you should be able to eventually rub it off.

If the paint is well and truly baked now, i would use thinners and a rag, but stll, i would mask off the areas around the rubbers to be sure

or mask it off the proper way and paint it black with a can

Home Depot, Ace, any hardware store or even auto parts store should have it.
