Default Help! Another Overspray!

Well i got my car (2000 GS300 Pearl White) out of the body shop last week and everything was looking good. until yesterday! i saw over spray on my rear left lower door molding?!!? I would say its about 8x10 triangle shaped overspray. Is it tooo late for my car? or can the body shop still clay and buff it off?

thanks in advance guys

What happens if he screws up? The body shop will not fix it, he will have to dish out more money for another respray.

Bring it to the shop and tell them to fix it. The only thing Id recommend you do is clay it. But that will probably marr the paint and it will need to be polished. So bring it back.

Ah... yes bring it back. I just thought he wanted to do that by himself.

I agree, take it back to the shop. If you don't want to take it back, clay will remove any overspray.
