Funked, Clay bar will take the overspray black paint off your finish. Just make sure you do the following: (after you get the car back from the auto body shop, I HIGHLY suggest doing this anyway!)

~Get a good quality clay bar (Pep boys will carry a good brand)
Buy some Detailing spray (Meguiars Quik Detail spray should be sufficient.)
~Wash the car with Dawn dish detergent (about 1/4 cup to 3 gallons should be sufficient) to strip the finish of all wax. (And while your at it, buy some good car wash, don't ever use Dawn except to strip the wax off)
~Rinse, but keep the rinse water on.
~Kneed the clay to about the size of you hand,flattened out like a small pancake.
~Use the detail spray to lubricate the surface (along with with rinse water that was left behind from washing it)  Work the clay bar over the entire finish, beginning at the top and work your way down to the bumpers and rockers last (These will be the dirtiest with tar balls, contaminents embedded in the finish)
~Rinse the car again when complete, or better yet, re-wash it.
~Dry it and wax it again. It'll look just like new.

You can get about 7-10 good cleanings with Claybar, so store it after your finished.  Contrary to the old wives tales of yesteryear, claybar will NOT scratch the finish. Trust me, I have a Jet Black finish and JB tells you everything!  Use it only when you plan to wax, but make sure you strip the old wax or reminence of the old wax off with Dawn detergent.

eskimo... i'm not surprised.   Oh well... you can be comforted in knowing that since you drive such a safe car you don't have to drive well.

eskimo... I believe that I merely said that you could be "comforted" knowing that you didn't have to drive well with such a safe car.   That has allways seemed to be the attitude of volvo drivers to me.  

You guys can do as you like but you will live longer if you generalize on this one.. volvo drivers are a menace and you should heighten your awareness around them.

I love WRX's as I can always count on a WRX trying to take on my GSX-R 1000 at the lights. Now when the bike can do 92mph in 1st gear and the 1/4 mile in under 10 secs I wonder what on the earth their thinking when they let out the clutch?

Don't feel bad...you will get the Red Ford Focus from hell..::snicker::  I hear those work great for your karma..  Mine goes into shop Tuesday..for some minor adjustments :D So I'm sure I'll get the red car from hell as well..

I know about the spray paint.. There is a boat fiberglass repair shop across the way from our office..I'm always getting some weird color combo on my car. I'm always complaining :mad:

Hey Funked, how much boost does that thing run? And what kind of turbo is it? I'm running about 15psi in my Saab right now, can't go much higher without some water injection or a better intercooler setup. Of course getting it to the road is the real problem...AWD would be nice :)

I think it's 14.2 psi.  I think it's a Mitsubishi TD04.
