Paint Overspray Removal Services in Spring, TX
Rough texture to your paint? We can safely remove it
Feeling Rough Paint or Seeing Tiny White Specks?
If your paint feels gritty or you notice small dots scattered across the surface, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with paint overspray. These tiny droplets of paint can land on your car without warning, leaving behind a rough texture and a dull appearance.
Overspray is especially common if your car was parked near roadwork, a construction site, or even just close to someone spray-painting a fence or building. The airborne mist travels farther than most people expect—and unfortunately, it can land on just about every surface of your vehicle like the paint, windows, trim, running boards, and wheels.
But it is not always paint overspray that’s causing the rough texture. Sometimes what feels like overspray is actually “above-surface contamination” like tree sap, tar, or industrial fallout. Either way, we are equipped to handle it and bring your vehicle’s finish back to a clean, smooth feel.
Why DIY Removal Is Risky
Trying to remove overspray on your own might sound like a quick fix—but it often leads to bigger problems. Many people go at it with plastic razors, scrub pads, or harsh chemicals and end up scratching their paint or damaging trim pieces in the process.
We’ve seen it happen plenty of times. What starts as a basic removal job turns into a full paint correction because of the damage caused by improper tools and techniques. Overspray removal is not a one-size-fits-all process, and different surfaces (like glass, plastic, or metal) each require the right approach to avoid making things worse.
Even when done correctly, some light marring or fading of the plastic pieces can still occur during removal. But knowing how to properly manage and mitigate that is key for producing great results. We can polish the paint to remove the marring or do a trim restoration to bring back the shine.
Our Overspray Removal Process
At The Detail Sharks, we follow a step-by-step process to safely remove overspray and leave your car looking and feeling great:
Full Exterior Wash
We start with a thorough wash, cleaning the wheels, tires, and wheel wells to remove surface dirt and brake buildup. This gives us a clean slate to work with and helps reveal all areas affected by overspray. There’s times where the paint doesn’t look as bad and once it’s washed, you can see heavy amounts of overspray.
Overspray Removal
Using safe, professional-grade products like clay bars and adhesive removers, we work section by section to gently remove the overspray without harming the surface underneath.
Surface Cleaning
Once the overspray is gone, we wipe down all treated panels to remove leftover residue and prep the surface for polishing.
Light Polish (Recommended)
To restore that smooth, glossy finish, we do a light machine polish to remove any light marks and bring back the depth in your paint. At this time, we can also do a full paint correction to really bring out the gloss and clarity.
Clean Glass
One of the final touches is to clean the exterior glass and mirrors.
Tire Dressing
Finally, we wrap up with a clean, satin finish tire dressing to give your vehicle a complete look.
After the job is done, your paint will feel slick and smooth again.
Overspray Removal Pricing
Prices vary based on the extent of the overspray and the size of your vehicle. Here is a general range:

Frequently Asked Questions
I used a clay bar, but the overspray is still there. What now?
That can happen. Clay bars are good for removing general contamination, but thicker or baked-on overspray needs additional tools and techniques to fully remove it.
Can you remove overspray from glass, wheels, and trim?
Yes, we can usually remove overspray from all of those surfaces. Glass and wheels tend to respond well. Trim can be trickier, depending on the type of material and paint involved, but we do everything we can to clean it without causing fading or discoloration.
Will a polish or compound remove the overspray?
Not entirely. While polishing can help reduce the appearance, it is not the most effective method. It is best to remove the overspray first, then polish for clarity.
