Today my roommate was painting his car models near my yak. You can imagine what happened next. Well, he dropped some bright yellow model paint all over the front hatch of my hobie revo... Then i noticed some over spray from him spray painting...

I have forgave him as long as he promises to help me clean it up...

So what is the best way to remove it without damaging the plastic kayak? What solutions work without melting or turning the plastic into goop? Thanks

I was repainting some of my jig heads with my wife's finger nail polish one time and got blue and black paint all over my kayak and use nail polish remover and scrapped it off. It did not hurt the plastic, just a couple scratch marks that I was fine with
