Default PAINT ON EXHAUST what Removes it?

So yeah I just got a new paintjob and I told them NOT to get paint on my exhaust I have a Greddy SP2 exhaust.

They got paint all over it.

What will make this go away? im pissed if I can't get it off.

FIRST OF ALL IT SHOULDNT BE YOUR PROBLEM. ITS THE BODY SHOP WHO PAINTED YOUR CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY SHOULD'VE TAKE THE BUMPER OFF AND PAINTED THE CAR THE RIGHT WAY FIRST. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK TO HAVE THEM TAKE IT OFF. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU DONT WANT TO DEAL WITH THE IDIOTS WHO PAINTED YOUR CAR, GET A RAZOR BLADE AND HAVE AT IT AND BE CAREFUL OF THE FINISH!

It was macco.. go figure!

Yeah I don't wanna deal with them. They fixed my huge dents I had on my car so I'm happy about that.

idk about a razor blade... Would any liquid solvents get it out?

you have to let it sit for a bit, but it will eat away every bit of paint on there
