what happens if you overspray onto an existing painted panel such as doors or roof?

there would be no way to remove this without damaging the existing paint???

removing paint...

Hey there... if you want to remove paint from that glass, you should use some cloth soaked in paint thinner or alternatively just petrol. Those are both excelent solvents and with more or less persistence should get rid of all excess spray paint, no worries.

Unless you have just oversprayed onto the panel and quickly wiped it off, and there is no coat of wax on your car, there is no way of removing dried paint without damaging the panels existing paint in some way. This however is only a problem if thing you are painting is completely different color to your car. In most cases you'll be using the same paint your panels are anyway so overspraying onto other panels will actually help blend the new color onto the old one.

If thats not the case though, some mild paint solvents (like cutting compounds) or very light sanding with really fine sandpaper should do away with the marks, but it will also thin out the actual coat of paint (or completely remove it if the coat is thin one, like spray can coats for example). If your paint job is fully thick, factory quality kind, this will do nothing really and you can just polish over it and it will look just like before. If your paint job is crappy half arsed light coat it is more likely that any chemical and even light sanding will go through it completely.

If however there is wax or even polish on your car the overspray paint won't be able to adhere properly anyway so if you do above you're much less likely to damage the cars paint coat.
