If it is a modern paint like urethane, lacquer thinner will not hurt it
if the paint is a couple weeks old.
I know lacquer thinner will take off the JB weld. But to play it safe,
try regular paint thinner first, this will NOT hurt the paint in any way
as I use it to wipe off any excess undercoating around the wheel lips 2
days after paint. And I have used it to remove glue from a new paint job.
I have used lacquer thinner to remove spray bomb overspray tonight on
the 69 I am working on.
I got some flat black on the bonnet lip and Lacquer thinner took it off
and no green showed up on the rag.
Try the Lacquer thinner if the paint thinner does not work. Work fast,
maybe wipe it down and let it soften the JB, then hit it again. with a
clean rag or paper towel, look on the towel for signs of the clear coat
which might be tough since it's clear. Do NOT let it soak too long as it
might soften the paint.
I would not go as strong as acetone, that might melt the paint.
