So I had the 914-6 tub repainted after 42 years of ownership and I am going thru the boxes of parts. As I look at a lot of the aluminum trim for the body, a lot of it has overspray from the first attempt of a repaint by one of the previous owners. Even the door sill plates have a yellow fog on them. What is the best way to remove the overspray without damaging the anodizing or scratching the surface? I’m sure someone has been down this road before.

Lacquer Thinner usually removes dried overspray. Wont work if overspray is urethane / epoxy
Should go without saying - don’t try to use on painted surfaces. |

I have used it since the early '70's for general cleaning but recently our EPA has lessened the impact it has. Probably a good thing for the planet, not so good for cutting. |
