Removing overspray?

I somehow got overspray on one of my rims. They're gunmetal Rota Torques, can the overspray be removed or will any solvent remove the rim paint itself. Is my last choice buying a new rim?

Claybar. Best thing to do is wash the wheel. Then clay it. It might take you a little while, but you want to get the surface as smooth as possible. Then polish by hand using a light polish.

3m adhesive remover and a little elbow grease can get the light overspray off.

Clay bar. Using a chemical remover can dull the wheel finish. I got overspray over my entire car once... black on white.
