There is a reason that guys like Todd Cooperider exist. It's because he has a serious passion for high-quality paint and also knows how to fix something well after it has been ruined.

These small specs of paint can be removed, but it is a laborious task and the job can become expensive in a hurry.
A few weeks ago I received a phone call from the owner of a 1979 Fiat Spider, and he said that he had an overspray problem on his classic car...
