Default Removing overspray...fawk.

I'm painting this tuber I'm working on. I'm using two part paint (base+clear) I got a little overspray on the paint, and out obviously like to remove it before applying the clearcoat.

What can I use that won't damage the paint I want to keep? Is there anything I can do other than kick myself for not masking better?

I also noticed a little overspray on this lexan sheet I painted. The film peeled back a bit on a corner, and wha-la; overspray. I don't want to use brake cleaner becase that will most likely fog the lexan; what can I use?

Thanks for any help!

I can build 'em, but paint is NOT my strong suit...

the clearcoat should actually make it all seem asif there was no overspray.. depends on how bad it is though... on the lexan.. someone makes a paint remever that is safe for lexan.. cant remember who though.. i just know its like 15 bucks a bottle.

I'll look for that paint remover for the lexan.

I broke down and bought another can of paint and repainted teh section that got oversprayed. It was just a dusting, but it was black overspray on red paint. It was 'noticable enough'.

what type of paint did you use. acrylic, enamel, lacquer? First try a tooth pick and see if it will scrape off. the tooth pick won't damage the plastic body. if that doesn't work try household denatured alcohol with a "Q" tip.
