Default Little paint problem

Hi everyone, i've benn doing paint touchup today. Even if a put tape and newspaper to protect the rest of the body there is paint fume that went on the body... here's my question. Is there a way to take off new paint on my original truck's paint...

Hope it's clear... the touchup look great by the way!

Thanks!

Go pick up a clay bar kit, it will take overspray off with no damage to the original paint. Meguires has a decent kit.

Not really. There are other ways to do it but none that won't either cost you some decent coin to have it wet sanded, or using a harsh chemical. I have had to use the Meguires Claybar kit before and it works REALLY well.

Default Overspray

I had paint overspray on my wheels and a clay bar took it right off.

Just a little side note on the claying of the paint.My Father taught me a simple way to clay the whole truck, just soap the truck down and clay it while washing it....
