First thing I did was google the problem. : used the wd-40 on window and body, wiped with a rag - with a little bit of elbow grease. That damned thing came right off. THANK YOU ALL!!! PS don't bother calling cops...they can't do anything-the insurance co will just raise your premium- so don't call them either. Now we know how to do this and I THANK YOU all so much. !!

I just knew I'd never get it off ... I tried a little chrome polish on a cotton rag. It came right off!! Left the paint very smooth and shiny, now I have to wash the whole van.

I have had spray paint on my white chevy van for a year now and I went outside and got all of it off with a Magic Eraser Sponge. I also used a straight razor blade for the thick stuff, but I am AMAZED! Everyone with spray paint woes should definately try this.

(Guest Post) (02/20/2007) Two words: MAGIC ERASER! I woke up this morning to find someone had sprayed paint all over my car - body, windows, licence plate, etc. After the police arrived and the phone calls to my insurance agent were made, I went outside to my car with a bucket of warm water. I wet the area, wet the Magic Eraser, and did a little rubbing. It worked PERFECTLY! I HIGHLY recommend this method should you have the need. It DEFINITELY WORKS!

All I did was get nail polish remover with Acetone and rubbed it off in less than 5 minutes. It had been on my car for two days.

Naturally everyone was upset. I ran out there with a bottle of "Goo Gone" and sprayed it all over the regions that were spray painted. Used some paper towels and it all came right off. Good luck to anyone else in this situation.

Its now back to perfect! Here's how.... 1. Lightly wash affected area to remove overlying dirt with a standard wash (no wax) 2. With a cotton cloth dipped in womens nail varnish remover with acetone carefully rub out the spray paint. Careful to stop when you see the original paint. 3. Then wash acetone off with water immediately. 4. Do SMALL areas at a time 5. Repeat until majority of spray has come off, there will be some speckles where the spray has gone peripherally-leave it, you'll get more acetone on the original paint than on the spray. 6. Once majority is off, wash again. 7. Then using Maguire Scratch X do the whole area focusing on where the spray is left. 8. Repeat step 7 till no spray left. 9. Now you've got a good surface to apply your usual coloured polish / wax. It does take time but it certainly worked for me, and the bonnet now looks as good as new as in doing so have removed minor scratches too. Hope this helps...Word of warning test a little of the acetone on the least obvious part older car paints may bleed off...... Good luck.

How do you get the paint from the plastic around the doors? Would acetone fade the black color? Thanks for all the suggestions, the WD-40 worked really well on the paint.

We used WD40 on both as soon as we saw it and it came right off. Then took it to the carwash. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions on this site!

I immediately got it out of the sun, took it to the car wash and washed it. Afterward, I used some hand cleaner (GOOP) and a wool sock and it came off in no time. I think the GOOP is easier on the paint than any other cleaners mentioned.

I used paint thinner which you have to be careful with so that you do not eat through the clear coat on the body of the car. I have found this way to be the easiest.

Both are quick, easy, and effective.

Go to the nearest store and by nail polish remover with acetone! the acetone will take the paint right off of window. If the paint is heavy then use a staight razor then the acetone.

Be careful not to get to much on the plastic or rubber parts as the thinner will disolve them as well as remove paint.""
