House trim paint overspray on vehicle, how to get off?

It's not actually on a car, it's on a fiberglass campershell, but same difference. It was originally painted to match the truck. But when we were painting our house doors with that thick white indoor trim paint, some overspray got all over the camper. I've tried goof-off and wd-40 and some other stuff, but nothing is working. Got any advice? The spray isn't very thick, but it's noticeable. Thanks a lot.

paint thinner! i used to detail cars all through high school and into college. whenever we had cars with overspray on them (not factory overspray) we would use paint thinner, it will take other paint off without damaging your factory paint. call me crazy (that's what i thought!) but it really does work

Yeah, paint thinner would work to wipe away the overspray. Just put some on a rag and give it a decent cleaning to take it off. As long as you don't douse the thinner on then you should be just fine on the clear. If you're really concerned about it, take a dry rag and wipe off any residue left over from the thinner.
