Car Paint On My Window

[NYC_99Camry]

I recently had my car repainted, but unfortunately, i just noticed that they guy accidently sprayed some paint on my rear driver side window. how he did it....i don't know. but, my question is....are there any products i can buy and use to remove the paint? or....should i just replace the whole window? Thanks guys.

just use some compound and some elbow grease to get it out

You could try to use a razor blade to scrape it off.

razor blade is good, but a novice should be careful, as it's possible to scratch the glass.

I recommend a rag and some lacquer thinner. It'll come right off.

A rag and what??? Lacquer thinner? whats that? and does autozone or PepBoys have that?

Yes, sometimes called "paint thinner". DO NOT get it on your paint!

You can try a metal scraper like a metal spatula from your kitchen first before using the razor.

+1

Paint + paint thinner = paint no more



Just use it in a open ventilated area. It has fumes.

I would get the guy who repainted it to replace the window or fix it since he messed it up.

I'm with chullen. ^^

I'd try a spatula, or something without an extremely sharp edge.

If you don't want to try for a razorblade, you could use a solvent of some sort. Just make sure its not too damp. Drips will kill your paint.

+, If the guy was careless enough to get paint on the window, do you really trust him to remove it?

Use that abrasive steel wool they sell at home depot. It's scratchless and it'll take that shit right off. I had the same problem when the asshole that painted on my car fucked up

This is also a good idea, but there are different grades of steel wool. I have used this method myself, and it does work, but get a fine steel wool.....not course. If it's too course, it can scratch the glass.

Use A Green Scrubby That Is Deemed Safe For Non Stick Pans
And Use Some Dish Detergent Or Other Soap To Lubricate It So
It Does Not Scratch The Glass, Just Like Doing Dishes
