I'm wearing out my finger nails !

[The Old Geeza]

The previous owner of my GPZ500 had it stored in his heated garage - which is why it's in such good condition.

However, he obviously re-painted his garage using a paint roller, but he forgot to cover up the bike. So, it's covered in tiny little specks of emulsion paint. Nothing noticeable from a short distance, but close-up they're bloody annoying!

I've been picking them away with my fingers for the last couple of hours and polishing off afterwards. It's working, but it's a bloody tedious job.

Anyone got any ideas as to how I can remove them 'in bulk' ?

Thanks

EDIT: Ooops, Sorry. Posted in the wrong forum
Can the Mods please move it to OT ?

Sandpaper?


(don't actually try this! )

Would petrol do it? if you do it quickly enough not to damage the bike paint?

Soapy water and the back of one of those cheap washing up sponges (with the green plastic scourer on it). I'd try it somewhere inconspicuous first to make sure it doesn't damage the paint.

T-cut?

Used to make scrapers for getting old gasket off cylinder heads by cutting down one edge of a bit of copper pipe for about 1" then flattening the end out with a hammer. You would need to be careful but it would save your fingernails.

T cut tar remover,

surely if thats good enough to remove tar from your bike it'll remove the paint also.
