Removing paint overspray from interior
Ok, I know you get what you pay for. I thought I was getting a bargain paint job and what a piece of crap. I now have paint overspray on dash, seat, basically whole interior. How do I clean this off?

Carb cleaner works great to take anything off , but I would hate to see you ruin your interior using it. I would try a real small spot and let it dry and see how it looks.I use it on wires to clean off paint and grease .

There is no excuse for getting overspray inside the car. Any painter worth a hoot should know how to tape off and mask a door or window opening to prevent it.
I'd have it professionally cleaned, and then I'd send the painter the bill with a letter from your lawyer.

I don't have any recourse since the car was painted at a prison body shop by a convicted murderer (no kidding). The guy was supposed to be a Ford certified body man. Goes to show you just can't trust criminals. This is a true story.

Since that's the story then your screwed. Try mineral spirits. Take some and put it on a rag then clean the over spray.

Goof Off, not kidding let it soak in for a little bit and use 0000 grit steel wool so not to scratch the vinyl SOFTLY ( softly is the key word here )

Goof Off is for removing Latex Paints not Automotive Base/Clear or Single Stage urethanes. Goof Off won't touch automotive finishes, unless you are scrapping it off with a Razor Blade.

Go to a body shop supply store and get a product that removes overspray...I use one that comes in a container with pull out wet wipes...its made for doing this...I dont have the name right now cause its packed away but it works well on vinyl, glass etc and took my acrylic urethane off pretty quick......Even with all of my windows well taped some overspray managed to get in somehow. I will try and find it and print the brand...

Haven't read all the replies BUT:
If it on vynil upholstery etc use brake fluid.
Wipe it onto the areas you want to take the overspray off and leave overnight.
Wipe down with a damp rag & rinse carefully..
May take two attempts.
WARNING: Brake fluid is not fussy what paint it removes - do NOT put it onto a surface already painted to take the overspray off for instance.
It is ideal for vynil, plastic/rubber glass etc.
