Overspray removal

[jimim]

Hey guys. I had to have a new flare put on my Jeep. When it went to the shop for paint they did a good job except they got some overspray on the side. Can I remove it on my own without discoloring the black textured plastic? If I can do it my self I would rather cause they will prob just take more harsh chemicals to it and ruin it more. I’m on my phone. I can’t get the pic to upload. It’s just small white colored overspray on textured typical black plastic trim they use on Jeep’s and other vehicles.

Automotive Clay was purposefully invented
for the removal of overspray.

IMO:
I’d give some mild Clay a try first, before
taking it back to the shop. (That is, unless
the repair was/still is warrantable.)

Clay worked for me. Just be prepared to take a while to do it.

Was it textured plastic? I don't see how clay will remove the paint on textured plastic, but what do I know.

It was mostly paint with some textured plastic lowers. It took a long time and I admit I may have just got lucky.

If one looks close enough, isn’t CC paint
also a “textured” plastic?

just click to enlarge. its the inner lip of the flare which is rough plastic trim like I said. I don't see how clay is going to get it off. I'll have to go buy some tomorrow. I have been using nano mitts lately and have no clay.

I’d at least give mild Clay a chance.

You said you don’t want this:
