Well the old lady knocked a paint can on the floor and the top busted and splattered paint all over my graphics’s, tank, bars, etc. any tips on removing without damage? Thanks.
What base is the paint? Water, oil?
I’d love for my wife that never does anything wrong do that. I’d have at least two years worth of get out of jail cards!!!!
Typical Aerosol white spray paint speckles.
I think any sort of solvent may damage the graphics. I would just try a power washer.

Removing the paint, or the old lady? Hahaha
Goo gone makes these paint removal wipes (made for latex) but they are pretty awesome and work well for a variety of things. Id start there and see if they do the trick. Probably will work well on the plastic and vinyl.
I’d reason with the Mrs. that the bike is totalled and you need a new one.
We have a winner. Problem solved.
my neighbor was scolding his wife for never washing the car. She washed the car, with COMET! She had no clue, he came home and asked what happened, she said "What, I washed the car" He asked "with what!" She said "the good stuff that gets the scum out of the tub!"
Spatter paint, could be worse!
Gonna keep it since it's totaled now, but also need a new one to replace it.
I’d replace the bike…..it’s a safety issue. How bad is it?
paper towels with some gasoline on them. the longer you wait, the harder it will be to get it off. It won't damage graphics or seat cover at all.
Goo gone makes graffiti remover. Worked to clean a 125 motor I bought after the other guy spray painted it black… either way it’s going to be tedious.
Use a paint polish, ideally a heavy cutting compound polish. Use it on a soft pad and work it by hand in circles. Will be 100% safe to use on the variety of different surfaces and should lift the paint off pretty easy. The paint shouldn't of adhered too well as I imagine the bike would have had some dust and residues from cleaners etc on it
If that was one of my Vintage / Evo bikes, I would be breaking out all the methods of overspray removal… for a daily rider? Wouldn’t even take a 2nd look, just ride it at a sand track, it will be gone.
