a light rubbing compound. I had someone spray the right side of my car with black spray paint once and a friend of mine told me to use a rubbing compound and it took it right off. See how that works and let me know. Also a little simple green helps too

If rubbing compound isn't harsh enough and simple green doesn't work, get some 1500 grit sandpaper and lightly wetsand the paint off. Then go over it really good with rubbing compound and then wax it. =D

Just because you admitted you pissed someone off, this is the best thread ever... for the cheapest, I would say rubbing compound... but if there's a really good body shop around you, I'd take it there and have them buff it out.

paint thinner. take a rag, make it BARELY damp and just lightly go over it to loosen the spray paint. Then Buff buff buff. No matter what road you take, its going to be alot of buff buff.
