hey guys i need some help. my Brother was painting some chairs with spray paint and i wasnt paying attention where he was painting the chairs and lets just say my 1125r is now white. well there is a think coating all over the bike. im not worried about the paint i can get that off. im worried about the frame. i have an 08 and its blue and i dont want to screw that up. is there something special i can use to get all of the millions of white dots off? also i have a brand new dark smoke double bubble that hasnt even been put on yet that is now white as well. i dont want to scratch it!! HELP!!! Thanks (and no i didnt get mad, it was a mistake it happens. nothing that cant be fixed) Andrew | ||

most of the spray paint probably dried before landing. if you get a hot wet rag it will mostly wipe off. i have made that mistake a few times. | ||

I think his blood will most likely get it all off.... | ||

goofoff should work where the hot rag with soap and water doesn't that's the beautiful part about over-spray as mentioned above it's usually just sitting there not actually bonded | ||

Without a doubt, a clay bar is the way to go. Get a kit (bar and spray detailer) at your local auto parts store. | ||

Gasoline and a rag. I've had these types of problems before and nothing worked better than a simple rag dipped in gas. Scrub away & wash 'er off with soap and water and your done. | ||

but a clay bar kind of polishes too, and thats the last thing you want to do to an xb/1125 frame. unless you want one shiny spot that it. | ||

I've seen oversprayed paint removed from a car finish with a rag and lacquer thinner. In your case, I think I'd first try hot soap and water and a rag. If that doesn't work, step it up to paint thinner and a rag (starting on an inconspicuous part of the bike in case it causes a problem with the frame paint). If that doesn't get the paint off OR hose up the frame paint, step it up to lacquer thinner. If that doesn't get it off, paint your bike white!  | ||

Special new color: one-sided rattle white speckle. I was rattling a piece in my garage and the dust settled on the seat where I had a wrench resting. my 09 now has the outline of an 8/10mm wrench on the seat. The overspray didn't stick anywhere else. | ||

do NOT use gas and a rag on the windscreen!!! i accidentally spilled some gas on my windscreen once and tried to wipe it up with a rag, it RUINED the windscreen and was unrepairable. Try all the other methods but gas...the gas may not hurt the frame, but i wouldnt chance it...FWIW Jake | ||

and if it won't all come out of the crevices, use an old toothbrush. | ||

I think his blood will most likely get it all off.... Then use Coke to get whatever hits the driveway... |
