really need help!!!

Hey guys:

when i painted my calipers and drums for my fit a few weeks ago.
i didnt notice until a couple of days ago...that i had overspray go into my fit as well. my paint now feels rough on certain areas(fender, hood etc). I'ved tried everything from:
Eagle1 nano wax
Krystal glow
meguiars....and still no luck.
My brother said that i can never get rid of the overspray anymore.
Im so #1$%^&8 off ...can anyone help me or have any ideas.
I thought about bringing it back to the dealership...but they might not do anything since i caused it.

thanks guys for any input/help:

Clay bar. I just dealt with some overspray myself.

I had a 3 stage wax done, with clay bar included. I have a black car, so white specks really show up. It got most of the overspray off.

If I wasn't lazy and did it myself, i would have got all of it off.

You gotta be uber careful when you're doing something like painting calipers. I did my Tiburon's calipers with a white high temp spray. Bagged up and taped over everything that I could get overspray on. Came out fine.

Taking the calipers off would be a PITA. Especially if you disconnect the brake lines. You'd end up having to drain the brake system and then refill and bleed. Not a super-difficult task, but it is a PITA. It would be the most correct way to get it done... you don't have to worry about overspray, and you can take the pads out to keep them unpainted.
