Okay so i've been building my car recently, completely restoring it. ( See ChaseBays K20 Crx in my sig for build thread)

I did all of the stripping and prep/body work. At the end i missed some dents and my homie who painted the car, 408wdy helped me out with them. So the paint job is dope and everything im satisfied.

He sprayed the interior and engine bay first, base and clear, then we taped off and he sprayed the exterior after that. We missed some spots in taping the interior off so base and clear oversprayed on a few spots in the interior. Leaving it with a rough feeling. Its mainly in the rear spare tire well area, the most visable part. Im fully gutted in the interior, just dash, center console, and seats. So i want nice paint in there. My question is, what can i do to get alot of that overspray off...

I know i could wetsand but we all know wetsanding alot of the interior would make one kill themselves Would claybar work pretty well? i would be down to do that. Anyway, please have a magic solution that will work, thank you.

 

if it's fresh paint, stay away from the claybar. if it's light overspray you can use some lacquer thinner or 2k reducer on a rag, but be quick and careful with it.

 

There are several ways. Start simple, a clay bar(make sure it's the commercial grade "Blue one")Jobbers have them in stock all the time.Alot of bodyshops use them for excessive overspray.Hell My buddy Aj had his whole car with overspray primer on his freshly painted eg.Just be sure to have soap and water in a rag,apply it on the area where the overspray is and run the clay bar through it.Make sure once in a while you roll it in a ball so you have a new piece of the clay bar to use.Overspray material will clogg up the claybar quick so be aware.If the over spray is removed make sure you run a nice coat of wax once you dry the surface.You'll notice it'll be rough the paint but with a no overspray feel.If the clay bar method doesn't work consider looking into the meguiar products.They've plenty of products for overspray removal.And if that doesn't work you can always watersand the overspray area with some 1000-1500grit and reclear with the blending agent.Goodluck Chase

Are you crazy laquer gives it a residue.Sure you can use it,will remove "some overspray but not all".As far as the fresh paint if Chase had his car for a day or two in the sun to cure the paint. He'll have no problem to claybar the car.And why would you tell him to use a reducer???That's intended to "reduce paint" .

 

Clay bar would be your best bet. How about posting some pics in your thread. I wanna see this thing

x2.Oh yeah my bad dude he wants his 10,000 post to be the **** lol.

 

yes, reducer can remove light overspray...do you think the rest of the clear underneath is going to come off with it? this isn't lacquer paint.

 

Thank you for the replies guys, i forgot about this thread. I will try commercial grade claybar and post how it turned out. If that doesnt work i will try other methods.

Its not alot of overspray, just light stuff in spots from where i missed taping small holes.
