    Hello all,

    First post on the board and it's a depressing one.

    I had set out to spray tint my side lights and had masked up the surrounding area and proceeded. Once I had finished and peeled away the news paper, it appears as though some parts of the paper had become over saturated and the spray tint seeped through on to the car. Furthermore, a gentle wind seems to have made the paint spread a layer over various parts of the bonnet. It's not really visible but feels like a thin layer of sand paper when I rub my hands over it and then smooth again where it missed the car, . I've also got some straight lines which separate the over spray and normal paint where the masked area was removed. Looks awful.

    I tried to clay bar the area and use auto finesse triple to polish by hand but bugger all happened. Any ideas on how I can remove this myself before having to take it to a shop? The spray tint is removable using white spirit but I don't think I should be throwing that onto the paint.

    Bloody balls up not stopping when I noticed the wind. Really appreciate the help.

    i would take it to a body shop. polishing wont get it off but unless you know what you are doing so you may end up destroying the paint. white spirit or thinners is the way to go but you have to do a really small area at a time and then wipe it off with brake cleaner before the thinners eats your paint. the main problem you have is that the tint is a sort of primer so will stick to anything it touches which makes life very difficult.
