I like to use paint reducer (not cheap lacquer thinner, but good reducer) and a rag to gte heavy overspray off pretty much anything, glass, rubber, but NOT plastic. It evaporates quickly and works great, but you need to be very careful since it will not only remove overspray, but paint as well. Also, use it outside and wear disposable rubber gloves to keep it off your skin.
