Default Cleaning up an ASR brace...?

I recently got my car painted and some overspray got onto my ASR subframe brace (Maaco, what do you expect?).



What would be the best way/technique to remove this, and get it back to looking good?

Thanks in advance..

or take it off, make sure there's no rubber/plastic on it, then spray it with bumper stripper. let it set for 5 minutes and wash it off with a hose.

over spray on aluminum. . You could probally even get that off with a mild or fine steel wool. or a bit of thinner and polish it after. I have no idea why you would sand that with 400 like someone said its not fully painted its over spray

Do not sand it with 400 grit... that would take off it's protective coating and raw aluminum will oxidize and get a white coating/film on it in no time. Just get some thinner or reducer and it showed come off with some elbow grease.
