Default Paint overspray removal

Cleaning up some of the interior components until I get some parts arriving. Some of the interior has overspray on them.
Whats the best way/product to getting it off? Whoever painted it in the past must have used a soup spoon to apply some of the paint

I just used a green scrubber pad and water. Some tuff spots I used windex and the pad. Worked like a charm. Good luck!
P.S. Just noticed you are in Scotland! Both my parents were from Edinburgh. Cool

Depends on where the over spray is. Interior components vary from vinyl or leather, to soft and hard plastic, to cloth, to metal. How you clean and what you use could depend on what you're wanting to clean.

Regardless of what the item might be, you should be very wary of using any solvent based cleaning agent.

I'm West Coast, not like the States though, I'm 50 miles to Edinburgh

@Mike. Its basically the sides of the dash that were near the doors and the plastic mouldings behind the seats that the seatbelt equipment is attached.I'll avoid solvent at all costs. I'll paint to match if I can't remove it. Its one thing after another with FrankenVette
Loving the experience though
