Removing Primer Overspray

MetzgerMeister

Hi all,

I recently got a few bits repainted on my car. Since then, I've noticed that my passenger door panel and window were kind of rough. I took no notice of it because I didn't see anything on them. Then this evening as I was driving, the sun was shining through the window and I could see all the tiny particles of primer all over the window.

My question is, is there anything I can use to get the primer off? I was thinking about polish and a buffer as I used on the headlights but I'm not quite sure if it'll work for this even though polish has abrasive properties. Not too keen on using paint stripper either just in case.

Cheers!

A clay bar should remove the overspray. You may need a slightly more agressive clay which could cause marring so a polish after would be needed.

I'd be getting the bodyshop to sort it for you, it was their lack of attention which caused it so let them fix it.

Thanks, it's been over a month since I got it done. It could very well have happened since then as far as they are concerned!

Polisher'll would fine, but just use a feck load of water when using it. Personally, I'd probably go the clay bar route too. Bit mental that they have overspray and didn't mask properly, but there you go.

Got your PM too, but only just back from the UK this morning and in need of serious sleep, so I'll reply to you later on.

I'll try the clay bar first and if that doesn't work, I'll resort to the polish and water.

Thanks for that PD, whenever you get a chance!

Right lads, the clay bar did the job on the window anyway. No more roughness there, now I just have to do the door and all around that area!
