      The hands down simplest way to remove overspray is with clay. No risk of burning the paint or anything like that. I had by GTOs frame dipped, then painted it black. An idiot friend of mine painted a white spoiler or mirror right next to it and didn't bother to notice that the cover had blown off.

      The clay took it right off, no problem. Good thing, because I was going to have to kill him otherwise.

      I used "magic clay" but there are the other brands around these days.

      Not at all. I poured some on a microfiber cloth and then wiped the overspray off. The acetone evaporates pretty quickly so it doesn't really sit on the paint. Of course, it may affect your paint differently, so to be safe try it in a not so noticeable place to see what happens.
