How to remove spray paint on a bike frame?

I just spray painted my bike and i stood too close so it dripped all the way down. Is there a way to fix that without spending a ton of money and sanding it forever?How to remove spray paint on a bike frame?

lacquer thinner will wipe away any spray paint you spray.
Rubbing compound sould remove the new paint and leave the older harder paint. You do it like polishing and it does not take forever.
If it is only one run that dripped in the same spot all the way down, you can take a razor blade and carefully scrape the run off. Be sure to keep the blade as even with the surface of the paint as possible. It works best if you start at the bottom of the run and work your way up. Then scrub it with a Scotchlite pad, wipe down with paint thinner, and spray area again.


If there are several runs, sorry my friend, but you are going to have to sand it all down and repaint. Good Luck.
It is not forever. Learn how to spray. Do it on a flat sheet. Do not try to get it all in one coat. Break it up as fog coat put on 3 times and allowed to get tacky before spraying again. It it doesn't do it in 3, then wait till tacky and spray again.
just sand it down with really fine sand paper 400 or 1000
first wipe it off as much as possible , Now get you some carburetor cleaner spray on a small amount wipe dry repeat as necessary, be careful.
