Angry Help with spraypaint plz...

I think someone thought they'd be funny and spraypaint a spot on the fender. I wish I caught whoever it was in the act, so I can test out the trucks on my skateboard on their head. What can I do to remove the paint. It feels like it's caked on pretty good. I didn't want to scratch it off. Any suggestions on chemicals guys??

try goo gone or a good waterspot remover. otherwise a little paint thinner and a good rub should get it off. scratching it gently with your fingernail works too but be acareful and it takes a while. anyway sry to hear about that and gl.

just make sure not to leave the solvent on the car to long since there is still the potential of it eating through your factory paint.

good luck

A solvent based wax works well according to Joey at Midas touch auto detailing.

Acetone

Has the fender been repainted the factory color after any accidents?

If it is still the same paint that rolled off the assembly line then laquer thinner will take it off really quick.
