Body Shop Overspray

Re: Body Shop Overspray

Definitely use clay to remove paint overspray. Make sure the car is very clean before starting.

Might want to test/feel the glass and all the body panels. Where cars are painted, overspray is in the air. The longer your car is in or around a body shop the better the chances for overspray.

Overspray is not selective, wherever it lands it will tend to stick or glue itself onto, for this reason you might want to feel your window glass and other areas of the car.

With Nappers. Go the clay route. It should make a huge differance. Good luck. keep us posted on your progress.

Re: Body Shop Overspray

I had bad overspray on my Neon, which came from the factory. I had the same symptoms, rough paint.

I clayed it and it was smooth as a babies rump.

Try that.

If it's not that, then I would take it back, may have dirt on the surface when it was painted.

Yeah I was gonna clay the affected area and then go from there. Simple wax did not do the trick so I may have to resort to the clay bar.

Yes indeed that is a r32 which was used with my Z for a photoshoot.

Sorry to hear about what happened. Its to bad to hear about shops doing bad jobs whether repainting or fixing a car, they seem to get a bad rep. Clay should take care of it if it is overspray, then if you could it would be best to put a layer of wax or some quickwax if you have some. Just wondering is that an r32 in the backround?

Just recentely had a fender bender with someone failing to stop for a red light I had the green and slammed into the other car. The body shop did a horrible job of the repairs and took forever to get my car back. The shop lost my wheel lock and also did not correctly assemble my suspension parts and let my sway bar bone looking bolt connections off on both sides. Upon further inspection I have an unusual rough feel to the paint which I believe is overspray on the wheels and body. What is the best way to remove this overspray. I have a meg's polisher and the car has seen it's good number of layers of wax. My thinking is I can simply clay off the overspray and the fact that I used so many layers of wax might save me. I will post pics of the car and later post pics of the overspray if in fact I can get a good picture of the overspray.
