After 6 long weeks, I finally got my Jeep back after the accident (1 week to repair, 5 weeks to get the parts )
Because it looked so good I decided to attend to a stone chip on the rear offside door. Removed the flaky paintwork, filled it, flatted down with wet & dry paper & primed it. So far so good. Got hold of a matching spray paint (Mercedes Silver) & proceeded to spray not only the chip area but the surrounding area as well. It's a good match over the primed area, but the overspray (where the new paint has gone over the existing lacquer) has gone a much darker colour.
Anyone know how I can get rid of the overspray? Will T-Cut get it off? Or am I looking at a professional job? What started as a chipped area the size of a 20p piece is now as big as a couple of £20 notes |

Uh-oh. Only one solution there iMike. Paint it all bright pink. OR you could stencil a little flower/butterfly/bunny rabbit over the marked area...

@Cougar, somehow I don't think this will go down too well round here..
@Bart - more like an RPG round I'm afraid. |

T-Cut or any decent rubbing compound should get it off. Just be prepared to use a lot of elbow grease. |

Halfords do a very good rubbing compound. You might want to go that route instead of bothering with T-Cut. |

Or, dare I say, sand it clear and start over and watch your overspray. What professionals do is actually mix the paint to match the surrounding and then draw the spray away as they approach the edges to "feather" and reduce darkened overspray areas.

But there's no such thing as regular chicks in these parts.
Don't go mad with the rubbing compound or T-Cut. I once rubbed away at a dull orange MGB until it went.....grey! The primer underneath started to show. One problem might be if you are spraying silver over lacquer, maybe it reacted. Also tins are often a rubbish match, and don't dry to the colour on the lid.
Maybe the garage that did the repair could quote you for a paintjob rescue, after all I bet they have some paint exactly the same shade as your Jeep! |

Clay Magic and some dish soap in a squirt bottle, will take off the over-spray and not damage the clear coat underneath.
I've had several (new ) trucks over-sprayed with industrial epoxy paint. It does take some rubbing, but it works. |

I thought all old Leyland cars were a sort of reddish brown underneath the top coat
I think it has reacted - the paint match is pretty good where it's over primer. The dark patches are where it's gone over the existing lacquer coat.
That clay stuff looks interesting but I don't know where I'd get it from round here.
I'm not inclined to let the garage have it back - they're miles away & I doubt they'd let me have the Volvo back. The car's had a check engine light on since they brought it back (got a code scanner - the problem's with the glow plugs. No immediate attention required, it'll get a new set when it's due for a service).
I think I'll start with some gentle T-Cutting & see how it goes from there. Thanks for the input - some good ideas there. Apart from Bart & 'Badger ( now you Bravo) - you just have to make everything smutty don't you
SOOI - if it works, I'll buy you a bag of nuts. |

Well, the T-cut worked. All the overspray's gone. Just needed a good rubbing up with a firm wrist & it came off nicely.
Still got some work to do on the repair section but it's a good start.
edit: @MBL - not seen that before. Quite like the look of the matt black. |
