My car has recently been in the bodyshop , having a new rear quarter panel and door resprayed.
Ive had a bit of bother with the whole thing , and really cannot be arsed taking the car back to them.
I have overspray on the boot of the car , not badly but enough to see in the right light.
What is the best way of removing it ?

The paint is met silver and I really dont want to damage it , any chance of that ?
I also have overspray on some black plastic trim , is there a chemical i can use to get that out because the plastic is textured ?

g3 i think would maybe stain the trim.
g3 wont damage ur paint unless u rub thru, just take it back to the bodyshop, if they have annoyed you genuinley (sp) then report them to your insurance company if it was an insurance job..

Id rather sort it myself mate. I took it to a very well established company who manufacture expensive cars , and they still couldnt get it spot on.

You can get G3 on ebay, so cant see why you cant get G10.
Indeed:
