How can I get white paint specks off my black car?

Question

I was out on a location and they were spray painting and small white specks are all over my car, I bought some rubbing compound and tryed to rub it off ,but this did nothing,any advice other than a new paint job?

Answer 1

Visit a reputable auto body shop and see what the charge would be to remove the paint.

All the suggestions here are great, but why mess your paint up trying to fix it when folks do it for a living fairly inexpensively?

Answer 2

Go to a paint store that has an automotive paint dept. Get some 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and wet sand the entire finish till the overspray is completely gone. Its very fine, used to color sand new paint jobs to take out the orange peel effect. Then follow it afterwards with some finer grit 1200 or 1500. After that use an electic polisher with fine liquid compount. Will look like a show car, better than new. If you don't know how to handle a buffer, you can hand rub, but it will take some time.

Answer 3

Try Varsol....on a rag and rub on the spray specs. Wash with soap and water. It should take them off. Then give your car a nice wax!

If they still don't come out then you can try a Cut Polish as the specs would only be on your clearcoat. This will remove debris and hairline scratches in your clearcoat.

Answer 4

Have it buffed. It should cost about $100 and the company that got paint on your car should pay for it.

Answer 5

i know itll sound whack but it worked for me, soak the body down real good, and use powdered laundry detergent.rub the paint softly with a soft cloth

Answer 6

try some thinner.rub lightly on it,so you dont mar the paint,and see if that removes it.
