Default BAD overspray!!

I just got a dent in my bumper fixed and there is really bad overspray on my fenders. I plan on taking the car back in to get it fixed tomorrow but for the mean time I wanted to know if tere is any way to remove it.

try taking a clay bar to it. Sometimes that works.

Yeah just ran down to AutoZone and picked up a mothers clay bar and its all good now. That little thing is like yellow magic. Ended up doing more of the car than was affected just in case. Thanks Guys.

Ok now I have discovered it on my wheels. Any clue how to get it of a polished aluminum lip? I'm thinking a little bit of paint thinner?

Default Forget The Clay

Id Take It Back To Where You Had The Work Done And Have Them Take Care Of It, This Is Getting Crazy!.....also Dont Forget To Wax The Area That You Used The Clay Bar On....as The Clay Will Remove Everything Sitting On Your Paint!

Yeah I'm going to completely detail the car tomorrow but there isn't anymore sunlight left. The spot on my wheels isn't bad but I am going to take it back tomorrow because I just found some overspray on my rear strut bar cover. The good news is they wet sanded the part they painted. The bad news is the paint is smoother than the factory paint and they never cleaned all the wet sand paint off of everything so its stuck everywhere. Hopefully they take care of this tomorrow.

"Hopefully"?

Don't settle for anything less than definitely.

Unless you took it to Maaco, any reputeable body shop should fix this at no additional cost. Press on them to fix it, if they resist.

Good Luck.
