A little thinner perhaps. Dont soak it though. Buff it if thinner doesnt woek.

^^FAIL

If you value your paint, do this:

Go to the local auto parts store or an auto detailing store, and buy a clay bar kit. Wash the area down, spray it with detail spray, and use the clay bar to collect the overspray. This will clean it off without marring the good paint underneath.

Fail ?? How long you been painting? 15 years here and a damp thinner rag works everytime. But I just noticed he said "DOORPANEL" so it should just scrub off.

use terpinetine instead of lacquer thinner. its easier on the paint under neath. a clay bar may not work because the overspray has been there awhile and has probably cured.

95% of you FAIL!!! Seriously did any of you MORONS read his post. IT IS ON HIS DOOR PANEL! Seriously we have this issue every now and then and we always get good results by using some lacquer thinner on a paper towel and just getting the overspray slight moist and wiping it off.
