Removing overspray
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi Guys looking for some advice here, have a firewall that has good original paint on it except for one side where PO added white overspray. Anyone have any ideas for the safest way to get the overspray off ? tried green pad it took some off but I don't want to go through the original color. Was thinking of trying lacquer thinner but not sure what original paint was.

Thanks
John

Maybe acetone or lacquer thinner? You might try it a spot less noticeable first.

I have had good luck with laquer thinner on cheaper paints. It evaporates fast but if you keep it wet with a rag it will wrinkle up and wipe off

As said above, Reducer or laquer thinner should easily do the trick an not hurt anything.
