Methods to remove automotive spray paint: You will need solutions that can dilute paint, such as banana oil, cooling oil, and olive oil. First, evenly apply the solution to the area with spray paint. Wait a few minutes for it to fully soak in, then wash it off with soap or car wash detergent. Alternatively, you can purchase paint thinners online. Be sure to use a white cloth, as colored ones may cause fading and could stain the car's original paint. If the automotive spray paint still doesn’t come off, you can use gasoline. Apply gasoline to the affected area and then wash it with soapy water. However, this method is not recommended, as gasoline is highly corrosive and may damage the original car paint if not handled properly.

Last time I encountered spray paint stuck on my car, the solution was to first wash the car clean, then apply some automotive-specific wax remover and gently rub with a soft cloth. If the paint spots were stubborn, I used fine sandpaper to slowly smooth them out, then restored the shine with polishing compound. The entire process was done wearing gloves in a well-ventilated area, testing in a small corner first to ensure no issues. This method is both cost-effective and efficient, perfect for hobbyists like me who frequently do car repairs. Remember not to rush, just be patient and you'll get it done.
