Damn Overspray.

I just got my car painted after i hit a tire the place that painted it didnt take out the front plastic pice the one in the center with the chevy symbol. There is some over spray on it and primer is there any way i can get that off with out messing up the plastic? its very small but i still notice it around the edges. Would paint thinner work? Also what should i use to make it look like new and make it a glossy black again.

I've used a clay bar (and elbow grease) to remove small amounts of over spray. This method will not ruin the plastic or finish.
