Some one has put spray paint on my van , any one know how to get it off.?

I would try to use a good pressure washer. Im sure they didnt sand your van before spraying it so the paint may jst blow right off with the pressure. You can also try the alcohol that may work. If that doesnt work, a little gas on a rag will surely take it off. It shouldnt hurt the original paint on your van either. Dont let it soak in for a long time, but it should work better than the other ideas above, and you can do it yourself.Some one has put spray paint on my van , any one know how to get it off.?
I just recently had to do this and I will tell you the best way to get spray paint off a car is use nail polish remover (actetone) kind and WD40 spray. I woke up this morning to go to church and someone sprayed mine. I wish you luck.

try rubbing compound
Repaint your van
Buffing compound, but do it by hand, if you dont know how to use a buffer, using a buffer without knowledge will burn paint, also, if they used a cheap paint, sometimes a thinner will remove without damaging old paint , but try in a small spot first
try kerosene,i use to use it to remove dead paint.
look for some product with bananna oil.
use carb cleaner or brake cleaner. I used it to get graffiti of my garage door. Trust me, it works.
Lacquer thinners will take it off. You'll need to wax the paint after too.
Depending on the colour, it might be best to paint over it. But that will probably mean paying for an entire panel to be re-done. Another alternative would be to find out who did it, and use their scalp as a brush.
You might try some good quality hand cleaner if the paint hasn't been on very long.
Try aftershave.
product called son-of-a-gum, dont know the manufacturers but is is widely available.





you will need to use elbow grease it takes a bit of doing.
Get some rubbing compound.It looks like car wax,follow the directions,good luck.
t cut ,easy
rubbing alcohol if it has not been too long just rub it in with a rag
don't listen to the 8 above.





theres a technique in body work called wet sanding. itll work for your car only if you have clear coat over the original paint scheme. since someone painted over the clear coat (if its there) then you can remove the paint over it eaily, since its not bonded to anything. get really fine grit paper, say 1000 grit, and get a hose and sanding block. start pouring water over the area, and sand slowly carefully, and always keep it wet, pour water continuously over it. if you have no clearcoat on your car, you can wet sand down to the primer and you can touch spray over. if youre going to do this, be really careful. it takes years to get good at body work, but a decent job can be done with good effort.
A good paintman should be able to buff it out. Call around to detail shops. Or, if you know someone with a highspeed buffer, THAT KNOWS HOW, let them do it. Really shouldn't be too tough.
Goof-Off on a rag would do it. Go to a hardware store and look in the paint section, if the spray paint is not that old, and your cars paint in good shape, it should come off, but wax it RIGHT after doing it. And dont let the Goof-Off be on there very long
it depends on how u want 2 get it off u could use paint thinner but then u will have 2 repaint your van or u could just go and get a can of grease killers and it'll take the spray paint right off.
you need some light rubbing compound, like G3 then just gently use it on the area thats got the paint on it will cut in to the paint and remove it, then use some polish on the whle panel and it will be fine
