All, I dripped some touch up paint on my car, but didn't notice till well after it was dry. How can I remove it. Would this be something best handled by a body shop?

Yes, don't worry. It should be pretty easy for a paint & body shop to remove.

Thanks. It seems fused to the paint, but I'll just let the body shop guys handle it.

Yeah, don't worry. Super easy fix. They'll probably just go over it with some rubbing compound and bluff.

Sanding block, and polishing compound will do the trick. If not, even a very sharp razor blade can do it with the right technique.

Yep wet sanding it then buffing. That will get rid of it real quick. Definitely leave it to a professional if you have never done this before.

Cleaned up. Took it too the body shop that painted the rear diffuser, and they used a solvent that just wiped it off the car with minimal effort.
