all you gotta do is just some nitro fuel or nail polise remover on the end of a Q-tip and rub kinda hard and the bad areas.

To avoid tat in the future, Try using liquid mask.

Make sure the last thing you do before you paint is rub down the edges of your mask. Using light coats helps as well.

You should try the thinner on a piece of scrap lexan first. I clouded up a body once using laquer thinner to clean spots.

i wouldnt use thinner. it will cloud up your body and then you will really be in trouble. try using rubbing alcohol on a q-tip. as long as the overspray isnt too thick, it will take it off fine and not damage the clearness of the lexan.
