Hey all,

The '93 coupe I just picked up is a really nice green (Emerald Green I think?) and has some overspray on the right side from when the previous owner painted his house white. So it has tiny white droplets all over the side.

Any good ideas on removing this? I'm going to spend about three hours at the car wash tomorrow in the hopes that'll help, so we'll see.

Also it has one of those long silver vinyl stickers on the lower body, right and left, that I'd like to take off. Any suggested methods on removal and whether or not the paint will be all jacked up underneath?

I'd like to do this the low-buck way for now.

Thanks, gents.

Might try the clay bar system on the paint overspray. The vinyl, tough to tell without a pic, but usually the vinyl will come off easily if heated with a hair dryer. Then gently pull it off. There will be some residue, but wd40 or goo gone will take it off. Post of some pics
