Default Oh No! Spray paint?

It seems that when I was spraying my turn signals red that some of the spray paint got on my paint. I can't really see it but when I run my hand along the car I can really feel it. What can I do?

polishing compound maybe? You did that with the signals on the car? OOps.

I had an entire car that was covered with overspray from a building that was being painted near where I parked. It all came off with the clay.

You spray painted your turn signals red? What kind of paint did you use (I presume it's transparent or something)?

paint clay or rubbing compound will work.. after seeing how it makes your paint look in that one area, you may decide to do the whole car

I got some overspray off my black car by using cleaner wax and scrubbing like hell. It will come over, no worries. I dont think spray paint likes to stick to other paint or clear coat unless its sanded.

I spray painted (with primer) weenies on a camary that had been sitting out at our other house in Batavia for 3 years. Im not too sure whos it was, but my mom yelled at me and I got one of them off by rubbing it with soap and washing it.

I did a lot of fun stuff at that house. I drove our ride on lawnmower full speed into our garage door (we were putting new garage doors up). The house had a detached 4 car garage and the doors were such a ***** to take down.
