Overspray Issue from bodyshop

Try a clay bar before you get too far down the path of wet sanding.

Sometimes the adhesion of the overspray is poor if your car was just picking up residual in the air from being in a paint shop can, overspray from them painting your own bumper.

IMO if you are trying to do this yourself you could start with a clay and detail spray.
Then if that fails try WD40 and clay.
Then Bug and Tar remover....let is soak a little bit.

Just do a small section in a non noticeable area to start.

Also note to be extra cautious with removal of the overspray from any rubber seals and plastics.

After that, hopefully another member can advise.
Maybe some professional paint chemicals like reducer or a thinner.

The overspray, if from just being in a shop environment should come off fairly easily.

Last suggestion is a professional detailer and polishes with a machine.
IMO most professional detailers have seen this situation before.

As for cost reimbursement from the original shop...I wish you luck.
I too would be hesitant to have them remove the overspray as their reputation may not be deserved.

Again, good luck.

 

To the extent that the Zymol was still on the car when it was hit by the overspray, the paint is probably not adhering well and should be fairly easy to remove by a clay bar (or maybe even alcohol). Unfortunately, the body shop probably stripped all wax off the car in the area around the bumper so that may require polishing or wet sanding.

 

Send it for paint correction - may help! Then ceramic coat it after.

 

Do not do anything yourself to the car.

It has been damaged by the body shop and that damage needs to be documented by a professional first! Then turn over the damage assessment to your lawyer and have him approach the body shop.

If you touch the car you will lose your chance to claim and you may make the damage even worse!

FWIW, everyone of my Ferraris save for my current spider had some sort of repair done. Usually poor repairs AND overspray issues just to add insult to injury. Italy or port, who knows? The worst was my 430. Overspray everywhere. Especially inside driver's side doorsill. Car almost looked like it had a matte finish before they were in vogue. The reason was the rear quarter had been resprayed and it is likely they only covered the door. So, lots of overspray in the aforementioned area. My other cars usually had it all over the top of the car.
In every case, even where overspray thick, the clay bar and liquid detailer (Griot's Garage clay bar and "Speed Shine") worked flawlessly.
I get the legal issues if you really screw with buffing, chemicals, etc. But, the clay bar is completely safe as is the liquid detailer as no grit to harm the surface. You will not pull off any "real" paint with a clay bar.

Really glad for the happy ending.
In so many things, quality takes a back seat.

Why would car have overspray in the 1st place...i managed shops for yrs and on a exotic in for a bumper scratch the procedure is as follow :
Remove bumper
Pull car in the delivery area with 5mil plastic over it
Repair scratch, do spray out card on color and make sure its dead on....spray bumper, lightly de-nib any imperfections and polish. Pull car from delivery area, reinstall bumper, check match again, detail and deliver

Maybe a good time to take for a full detail with the body being mopped. Dealer just mopped my car completly (took 10 hours) after ballsing up the paintwork and it now shines with no swirles or frosting or marks like new....

 

+1 0-60 FREAK . We were in the refinish business for years ,this is how it is done correctly .
