clay bar or a buffing/polishing compound.

But get their insurance info and have a shop do it for you. I absolutely hate polishing/waxing cars, and there's a lot of sheet metal on a truck.

Do it soon though, it'll get harder to remove the longer it's on there.

I heard that Goof Off will do it, but afraid to damage paint

Wd-40. Do not let it sit in the sun to long after doing it. Wash immediatly!!!!

Easiest and cheapest way to do it.

it depends on the paint that was sprayed.... if its latex paint you can use Goof-off...but make sure its washed right after its done... also, yes to the keeping it out of the sun, that will bake any paint into the finish.... Who was the person that did the painting??? I would tell them to pay for it, if its a company, they ARE responsible for it.... Good luck.....

I am a detailer, first try the clay bar, it is the most effective way to remove contaminents from your paint without scratching or damaging the paint or clearcoat. Make sure to use lubricant with the bar, if the overspray is new enough it should come right off.

I can't imagine how pissed I'd be. What kind of an idiot does something like that. I'm not sure, but I'd think that would qualify as justifyable homicide in most states (disclaimer: always consult with a local attorney before taking any action).

I agree with the clay bar. I've used them before and it's the least damaging to start with. It might not get it off, but start with the least damaging and go stronger as you need to.

CLAY BAR. That's what professional Autobody repair places use.
