glass paint?

well my s son had floor pans and body work done. the kid he hired never covered the glass good enough. primer over- spray is bad. other than a hammer is there a way to clean it up.

I would just use paint thinner on a cloth being careful to keep it off the painted body. That will remove most of it and then just use a good glass cleaner to remove the milky residue. I'm sure some of the other guys will know of a product probably made just for removing paint from glass. I have in the past just used a razor blade to carefully scrape paint off glass after its been on for a long time. But thats a slow process if you have a lot to remove.

Razor blades can scratch glass, I'd try lacquer thinner on a rag, not dripping wet.

I've used very fine steel wool and thinner. If it's really thick use a razor blade at a steep angle and push it lightly.

0000 steel wool and lacquer thinner. Mask your sheet metal with plastic and don't get it on the new paint.

If it is self etching primer , acetone would probably work much better than lacquer thinner. Any paint or primer that uses a catalyst will clean up with acetone. Also use acetone to clean up after using fiberglass resin.
