Might have to use some rubbing compound and a power buffer. I know that will take primer off of the clear with out much damage. Then use a good buffing compund and wax to help build the area back up.

If its just in the clear coat and not too deep, it may buff out. If its in the paint, the whole section wll have to be repainted.

I used to do bodywork, still do some on the side.
My first response would be to tell you no, they wont come out. Cause a lot of the time it does require repainting the panel..BUT...

You can try this.

Get or borrow yourself a good dual action polisher/buffer. electric or air. start with some heavier rubbing compund or scratch remover, and VERY lightly attack the spider web with it. move to a lower grit, and another lower grit. then polish and wax, or claybar and was. Do the heavier remover on just the spderweb. but use your finest polish and your claybar, or polish/wax on the whole panel.

If that wont work you gotta repaint, or imo, live with the spiderweb.
