I have been to a garage to get my car resprayed and after the job I noticed there was some sort of overspray I think on my car I’m trying to figure out what it is and how it can be fixed. Any ideas? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/f/c/fca939566555beecc6d7963a41b91771f1815753.jpeg) ---

That could be over-spray guard, a film that is sprayed onto surfaces to protect them from over-spray. If it doesn’t wash off with water return to the body shop. ---

Unfortunately the garage had denied everything, so I am left without advice on what it is that they had got on the car from research it looks like over spray or something to do with the lacquer I’m unsure ---

Well , you could have put in your original post that the body shop was contacted . So I guess your next step is a detail shop or another paint shop . Doesn’t the body shop you used have an owner or manager that can solve this ?
