During the process of priming my fuselage I realized that I didnt mask off the inside of my windshield and have gotten primer overspray on the backside, Its not a lot but it make the plastic look like crap and its not too clear anymore. What will me my best bet at removing it? BTW the paint is rustoleum primer,

If its on plastic I wouldn't use any solvents. You might try using an auto swirl remover and then finishing it of with auto wax.

I've had good luck on light over spray by just using car polish and lots of 'elbow grease'.

Try using GoJo hand cleaner. Thats what we use here at work and it does a pretty good job of removing light over-spray. Espescially if the over-spray is freash and hasn't been on the surface for too long.

Try white spirits. It is a solvent but probably the most mild & least likely to damage your screen. Of course, try it on some scrap first otherwise [X(] may result. - John.
