Getting Overspray Off? - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

RICHARD TILL · 08-23-2013

X 2 on the lacquer thinner. It won`t hurt clear coat paint at all. Don`t let it get on any plastic lenses or the clear roof. Bout 5 years ago i was at a Hot Springs motel and they were painting the other end of it from where i was parked. About a week later when i was washing, i felt an overspray. I was nearly having to ride a buffer with compound to do any good. I wiped every painted surface and the windows with lacquer thinner. Then washed twice with Dawn dishwash, buffed again, then polished. Turned out fine and i cussed those painters from 300 miles away.

Usually, overspray spots weren't prepped for good bonding. Try polishing compound...

I got most of it off with clay bar. I think the rest will come off with another clay bar treatment. When I get her out of hibernation I will go over it again. I have some real fine scratches I want polished out of it too so when I get that all done it should be all good...
