BIG BLUE Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 What a muppet I was the other day I was using a halfords black paint can, near the supra while it was on the drive. Took a look at my car today and I have a few tiny spots of black paint on the wing and nose, where the wind must have just caught some of the overspray. The black paint has dried beautiful and hard in the sun /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_angry.gif /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_angry.gif What is the best way of removing the black dots without removing my blue paint!?

michael Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've used isopropyl alcohol myself in the past but only on fairly new paint, if yours has cured it might not work as well - just make sure you test whatever you plan to use somewhere that can't be seen first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Just use a little rubbing compound, or even T cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 T-cut all the way. Go gental unless you know the paint on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Just use a little rubbing compound, or even T cut. T-cut all the way. Go gental unless you know the paint on your car. Polish with some cut in it...would be better imo T-cut, philistines T-cut is nasty stuff.... I'm with michael..IPA to see if you can lift it off or at least take the bulk out with. Followed by a good polish.. meguairs stratch-x is about the best hand applied one going I seem to recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
