Severe Overspray removal help!

glass is the easy part to get overspray off of atleast you can use a normal razor blade(not carbon steel as it will scratch) if you feel comfortable you can use a razorblade but you need good technique i used one to remove straight up paint from most of a fender on my car (crappy quality paint that just chipped off easily) it did mar up the underlying un prepped factory paint but not that bad but i dunno i exhaust other options first as you can have a twitch and the blade digs into paint. or just continue wetsanding. good luck again!
 
It was epoxy paint. The guy that picked up the truck had overspray on his glasses. He said his truck was parked 150 yards from where they were painting.
 
Lucky for me, construction company's in Florida are usually too cheap to use epoxy (*with the exception of garage floors and commercial walk paths.) However, on a windy day here you can bet 150 yards is still too close.

Curious to hear if the Easy Off works, that stuff is potent as hell. My wife's telling me to use it to clean mucked up wheel wells.
 
The easy off will deff work.... when you have overspray like that, there is no easy fix .. you will deff have to scrub your butt off.. but the easy off, if you let it set right, and scrub it with the right thing it will work better than solvents themselfs. be sure not to use something too abbrassive and scratch up the paint.. a white terry towel works for me, and personally put laquer on the rag too to help a little.
 
I'm sure easy off works on most overspray. But, this was ultra expensive heavy duty industrial floor coating epoxy. Some of it is over 20k a gallon.
 
IIRC I've seen some roof coatings that are $5000 a drum, but at $20,000/gal I'd think it would have to have gold dust or plutonium in it.
 
Some of your responses are too funny. We must share the same sense of humor.
 
I worked on high end houses (beach front, mansions, etc...) and the 24k gold flake ceilings didn't cost that much. We put a concrete/gunite hot tub on a four story roof over-looking the ocean. My boss forgot to install a check valve on the air blower (for the jets) and flooded the master bedroom ceiling (*gold flake)...cost him $3,750 to fix it...LOL
 
Tried the easy off on another severe overspray. It worked like a champ! I used it on the black, porous cowl and mirrors. Let it sit for 10 minutes and wiped off hard with an old mf.

Bumping this-

A friend of a friend had her black G37 hit with white overspray- they were painting some construction outside.

She said the overspray is very fine, which may lend itself to being removed by clay. I am going to do a test spot with clay, but I am thinking about grabbing some easy off to give a shot too.

I told her I'd do a test spot free of charge before we talked about money. I don't wetsand, and def wouldn't start to practice on her black car!

What kind of clay do you have at your disposal?

Clay will remove overspray, as long as its aggressive enough. Meg's red clay cuts overspray, but it will cause marring, so you will have to polish afterward.

I have only used easy off on black porous trim btw, as a last resort, not on paint.

Tar x would help too, it works great on most junk.

Also, if it's alot of overspray, take it one small section at a time.
