Removing overspray on a reproduction bezel

[Portland68]

Looking for what solvent to use to remove some overspray from a reproduction bezel - some paint got on the "chrome" and I want to try and remove it without removing the chrome as well. Any experience with this or know if acetone will be the best bet?

Is the chrome metal, or plastic???

When tackling a job like this, start out with the least aggressive cleaner, possible, like window cleaner, see what happens., Leave things like paint thinner to the very end, if needed.

I'm pretty sure the entire bezel is plastic, that's a good call - I'll work my way up and try it out on and old bezel first and see what happens.

I'd recommend trying a clay bar. If it truly is overspray, it should pull it right off. I used one to remove overspray on a van I painted in my tiny garage. Nothing would remove the overspray (even a finger nail wouldn't make it budge), but a good application, per the instructions, and it all came off without touching the paint finish underneath.

Caveat, I'm not sure what the clay bar and wax would do to a plastic chrome finish but I can't imagine it would harm it... I would avoid chemical thinners, as they will likely react with the plastic chemistry.

Spray bomb use mineral spirits , Automotive paint , it's not coming off without ruining the chrome plastic finish
