I just had to do this task myself. I had to remove spray paint from glass. The only thing that worked fast and easy for me (having on hand) was Nail Polish Remover With Acetone. It wiped right off. Practically no rubbing at all...

Proprietary paint stripper will do the job. Don't leave it too long, though, as it will get harder to remove.
This a easy one. You can either scape it off with a razor blade or you can use a product called Goof Off and this will take it right off of anything.
I Was in the same situation,i used a razor blade it came right off with no scratches.
I love this stuff called OOPS. You can get it at Wal-mart now and it works wonders! You can get it in spray or liquid. Removes all sticky stuff and paint for me.
I remove paint all the time from glass.


There are many products that will work. First try ordinary rubbing alcohol, if the paint gets sun baked, it might be tougher, You can also try paint Strip-ez (sold at home depot or other store)
scrape it off with a blade.
If it truly is glass, you can clean it by scraping the piant off with a paint scraper. Just make sure that the blade is PERFECTLY FLAT, with no bent corners.





MAKE SURE IT';S GLASS, not ploycarbonate.





You can also try white gas, the type you burn in a liquid camp stove. That was my mother's universal solvent of choice. Kerosene would also work on this. Good thing it's outside.
razor blade or non-acetone nail polish remover
if you have clear glass then just use paint thinner like i do , if you have tinted windows you need to go to a professional so you don't mess them up more
Looks like everyone is in agreement, a sharp razor blade; just go easy so you don't put any gouges or deep scratches on the glass.
