Depending on how much paint you sprayed a clay bar can remove it. It will take some time and elbow grease but I should come off.

Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K.) is nasty stuff but it may work...Just have to be really careful that it doesn't eat off the paint underneath. I used it to take the paint off my badges but I did tape around them first. There are some other solvents that might work better. You might go to an auto paint store and ask them if they have any suggestions. At any rate the sooner you can do it the better.

pour brake fluid on it and let it sit over night and then rinse off in the morning.

That will also take to paint straight off. Unless he isn't removing the paint from a previously painted area.

meguiars makes a good buffing compound also.. It has a very, very mild abrasive in it that makes the finish very smooth. It does take a lot of work by hand or just use an orbital buffer maybe.. id rather take a little time and not hurt the paint than to take all the paint off.. Or maybe if you know someone that is good with a regular buffer maybe they could buff it out also... just a thought.
