Received a email from a potential client that 2 of his vehicles have paint specs all over his car. The neighbors had painted their house using a spray gun on a windy day. They have agreed to pay for the removal. Any tips or products that can make removal easy? Price range I should charge?
I have had mild success with clay... But it seemed like WAY too much effort to me. I don't think I was dealing with normal house paint though... It was like gray epoxy metal paint from a construction site or something.
Try scraping it off with your finger nail gently. If it comes right off its latex. Should be easy with any paint compound I imagine with a DA/yellow pad. I did it by hand years ago with a rubbing compound and foam pad for a latex (bunch of dots from house overspray). For oil based, unsure.
Defiantly going to get some more info about the overspray, good point. Going to see if I can inspect the vehicles up close and maybe do a test spot. And I found an old thread and video of Mike claying out paint specs using just clay and clay lube. Pretty sure there was a lot of elbow grease involved though lol
I've seen some dude on youtube scrape paint overspray off with a metal razor blade... I can't, in any way, see how that would be safe to do but he sure got all of it off pretty fast.
I've had great luck removing REALLY bad overspray with Griot's (yellow) clay. I've tried Meguiar's smooth surface clay without doing much. I keep Griot's clay around specifically for really bad fallout, overspray, etc. Its a lot more sticky then normal clay so its kind of a pain to work with but its gotten stuff off that I couldn't get off any other way
