Overspray Specialists

Need a little non speedster related help out here in the Boston area. My (non speedster) vehicle was hit with some intumescent paint primer spray (they were spraying steel beams 100' away and the wind carried it) and I really need it off ASAP before it hardens too much. Does anyone know of a good "overspray" or "grafitti" specialist in the Boston area? I don't care about it being expensive, I just need someone that knows what the heck they are doing.

I guess the only good news is that I did NOT have my speedster that day.

Thanks,
George

You need know what kind of primer paint it is. You also need to know what kind of paint is on your car.

I would try using a good clay bar. You can get them at most local autopart stores.

George.... "they" are responsible for the damages to your vehicle.

As Joe mentioned you do need to know what type of primer it is, IMO as long as it is a very light misting, I would have it buffed out.

+1 for what Dale said. Clay bar with right lubricant will remove overspray no problem. Auto supply and auto paint stores carry them, there are different ones. I use the 'clay magic' ones at my dealership and their lube too, works fine. Start with the finest one if you have gelcoat or clearcoat.
They are easy, have fun.

WD40 might do the trick, test a small spot

a little more detail: "they" are paying for the repair. i have the spec on the paint. it is a carboline "rust bond" for intumescent steel paint. not sure what my vehicle has for paint. it's a honda ridgeline.

i spend an hour with different grades of compound, polish, etc this past weekend and had no luck with exception to hand rubbing a two square inch section for about ten minutes with compound. only then did it come off. it looks like pin tip sized dots spattered all over the car...kind of like sap.

i have been given the green light to "go ahead and have it fixed, regardless of cost". i just need to know who the right person to do the job is.

Its an epoxy paint with xylene most likey used as a reducer for spray applications. Try the clay bar first in a small spot to test. If it works go for it. If not wet sanding would be the next step depending on what kind of paint is on your car.

I know that the Carboline brand is very good stuff; could be tough. I would take the car to polishing/detailing specialists to buff it out; I'm pretty sure they will be able to solve your problem.

Pick the the shop that does the nicest work in your area. Drop it off and let them take care of it. Once that type of paint adheres/sets up you're not going to get it out with solvents etc.
It has to be removed physically. While doing this you are going to penetrate the clear coat (if you are not super careful.) Once through
they will have to sand/buff it back to a shine. If they have to do this for 100 spots all over the car I say respray all.
