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.

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.

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

Paint + paint thinner = paint no more



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

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

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

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?

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.
