removing over spray from black plastic?

[dieselnutjob]

I have being do some work on the 607. It's actually starting to look quite good now (I reversed it into a concrete pillar a few years back and effectively wrote it off).

 

Unfortunately some metallic silver base coat from a rattle can managed to find its way on a black plastic strip that runs around the bumper.  It's not heavily painted just a light misting.

 

Is there any easy way to remove it?

Nail varnish remover may work if you don't have any thinners

RainX wipes. Seriously.

Clay bar should do it.

Use the time/space continuum. Reverse into the concrete pillar and start again? Save on buying clay bar or Rain x wipes?

I tried a Chinese clay bar, but the bumpers were textured and it fell apart... The overspray remains.

I used some stuff called 'What scratch?' From Wilko.

£3.99 and works well. Bit like TCut but more versatile IMHO.

I recently did this myself on my Transit. White paint on grey plastic because of my shit masking job!

To get it of I used a bit of old rag and some Jif cream cleaner (sorry I mean Cif) got it off easily.

Well done for getting rattle can paint to adhere well enough to not fall off under its own weight, brake cleaner and a rag takes the stuff off easily.

Don't use Acetone (Nail polish remover) cos theres a pretty good chance you'll melt the plastic - it dissolves ABS.

Brake cleaner / 2k thinners (not cellulose thinners) and a stiff nylon brush works well.
