Is there a safe way to remove touch-up paint off a car's surface without damaging the original paint? Thanks

I thought I saw a how to somewhere, maybe even on here, where a microfiber was used to buff excess off as you went. The key Ive found is to go to an arts or crafts store, get the smallest, tiniest tip brush you can find, and apply with that in exceedingly small coats.
thinner will wipe it right off.
+1 for laquer thinner. I've used it and it works well.

Late model cars have very tough paint. Most are a catalyzed epoxy. Lacquer thinner will remove touch-up paint easily and should not harm the original finish at all.

Heck if you wanna be cheap gasoline will do it too and OEM car paint definitely is gasoline resistant.

Thanks for the tip about Langka, it worked very well. I ordered it from a business in florida only to find out later that the product headquarters is in spokane wa (an hour from where I live) go figure.
