Need help with overspray removal

So I PTM'ed my handles and such and I accidentally whisked the spray gun a little to far when I did my tailgate and I got a good size (2"x2") of primer on my white tailgate. it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I tried my clay bar and it removed some of it, but the really heavy part isnt coming off. I need desperate help here! Thanks!

What clay did you use? I would also use Lacquer thinner, I have used it in the past and it works fast. just remember to wax afterward.

I did the same thing while spraying my bed rail with KRYLON but wiped right off since I only use ZAINO on my paint............That indicates to me how SLICK Zaino really is.

But to answer your question, I would think a good polish or compound would work for you.
Good Luck!

That should come right off with lacquer thinner - if not, just have at it with something like Megs Ultimate Compound.
