Overspray on the front plastic thing...

I recently got my front bumper repainted (some drunk guy hit it when it was parked) and though they did a great job at it, there is a little overspray on the black plastic bumper thing. Anyone know could I remove that without possibly damaging the bumper? A little bit of alcohol?

If I create friction with my finger it will start coming off, but that would take too long...hah

I could make them do it but the shop is too far.

if an auto-parts store claybar doesn't work, get a more aggressive claybar online.

Who the f#ck (pardon my french) would repaint a front bumper with non-painted removable plastic parts still on it? Sounds like it was done in a hurry or the shop is lazy.

Make them fix it and reimburse you for mileage. Your money, not theirs.

gas does a great job getting paint off your hands. It should work for plastic aswell.

The BRZ front mustache is not removable.
