Had a small upper panel repainted, on a helicopter, in-situ, by a sub-contracted autopaint company.

Painter didn't do a great job, but worst thing is the amount of overspray. He masked the immediate area, but elsewhere all the upper surfaces have a 'matt feel' to them.

And, this includes the acrylic roof and front screens rolleyes

They will need to resolve the problem, but so that I know, is there a gentle way to remove lacquer overspray without damaging or scratching the surface below?

thanks

So a good 'detailer' should be able to remedy the problem?

Yes, that's what concerns me - particularly on the acrylic screens, which are very expensive.

Thanks for the advice.

I can confirm that the whole helicopter had the clay treatment, including the screens, a full polish and some sort of paint protection finish.

All excellent and a big relief.
