Removing paint overspray off powder coat?
Can car paint that has ended up as overspray be removed from a powder coated item without destroying the powder coat?
Thanks

Not that I'm recommending you do this, but if it were mine, I would give it a very swift wipe over with a rag and a bit of acetone...
The acetone will soften the powdercoat if loeft on for any time, but like I said, it's what I'd do!

depends how much 'overspray' there is. if its real overspray, ie a very thin dusting, bit of wet and dry paper, wet.

Will it soften the dried paint faster than the powdercoat giving time to scrub the paint off?

What kind of car paint was it?if its was celulose from a rattle can then celulose thinners will remove it and it doesn't damage most plastics so
should be fine on powdercoat.if its 2 pac then it won't work.

I used T-cut and turtle wax polish - (plus a little elbow grease)
Nice smooth slippery finish.
