| 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.
