sounds to me like you're SOL. Don't paint close to something you don't wanna get spotted, learned that with my brothers black Harley. It came out with a lot of itty bitty yellow speckles from my go-kart.

what you SHOULD have done was wait for it to dry, and then gotten a clay bar. That would've taken it right off with no damage to the paint.

lol (note: no "j/k")
Yeah. This has happened to me before. Only with model cars. Sand the "infected" area with 320 wet grit sand paper, then Find a duplicolor matching touchup spary can. wait to dry, then clear coat with duplicolor, then wait to dry. Sand with 1000 wet grit, then apply 3M Rubbing compound, and buff out to a perfect shine. should look good as new. Just have to keep waxing or else the rubbing compound will ware out.
