 |
|
So I was painting my 67 and it was so hot that the masking tape came off halfway through. In the end I got over spray on some of the windows and chrome window trim. I need to get it off but don't want to take my new paint job off. Please help, I'll post pics as soon as the windows are cleaned up  |

What kinda paint? For the windows I would just use a fresh razor blade.

I agree some glass cleaner and razor blade will do it. |

Yup. Windex and a brand new razor blade at a angle is best. You could use paint reducer on a rag as well, but the razor blade is the way I have done it in the past.
