Default my jeep got spraypainted :(

Managed to get most of it off but there is still some on the plastic molding on the doors and molding of the window and the driver side mirror. Planning to paint the door moldings with black, any suggestions?

I do paint work for a living and I have had to deal with this a few times. go to your local auto part store pickup some lacquer thinner and some towels, you shouldnt have any issues wiping it off, let the cemical do the work though you dont wanna scrub it to hard because you will dull your paint. Good luck man

as stated before..your best and safest bet is laquer thinner..as long as you dont scrub to hard you should be able to get the paint on..
and someone stated the aircraft paint remover..please dont use this, it will get the paint of..but it will also eat the factory paint..
just get the laquer thinner pour a lil on the towels and scrub gently as to not go into the original paint.
