Bit of a tale of woe this one.
I had some pattern wings sprayed in 1 pack? professionally. Cracking job, super shiny and smooth.
I then painted the back of the panels with zinc 182 and chassis black.
all went well until i realised i'd managed to get the zinc and the black on lots of my new shiny top coat. Any ideas of solvents that might shift it without lifting the top coat, or would 1200 grit and polishing be a better bet?

I'm not an 'expert' but if its just some light overspray, then I'd go straight for a cutting compound, something like Meguiars #105 (maybe even something less aggressive if its very light overspray), and if you're lucky it should just polish right off without anything as drastic as sanding.

some pretty thick runs in places of the wrong paint on the good paint side

I would also try polishing it, rather than risk using any thinners or similar.
You could also wet-flat it back with a fine (2000-say) grit wet & dry paper then polish.

If the runs are pretty thick then consider using the razor blade trick before you start to wet sand. If you try to sand out a thick run you will undoubtedly run the risk of burning through the surrounding paint. You'll need to take a brave pill but, if you're careful it's not as bad as it seems. blackpopracing describes it on his thread about his Ford Pop and there are plenty of videos on YouTube to guide you. When I use this method I put tape around each end of the blade so that only a small bit of the middle is exposed - I then hold the blade at 90 degrees to the panel and slowly and gently scrape off the run. Some people slice the run but, I find that a little risky. Once you have taken the bulk of the run away you can switch back to wet sand and polishing. Good luck |
