A Lesson Learned
I thought I would paint my muffler cans black because they are round and hang below the bumper slightly, I used a high beat satin black enamel paint. I painted them on the car and in the garage to avoid any wind so I never put any cover over the car, Well the car was covered in a fine sandpaper type dust, felt like over spray but its not. Well I had to wash a and wax the car and got it all off I think. What a PITA.
But the mufflers look great from the back now!
Thought I would share!!

I take it you didn't cover the car at all when spray painting? Always a good idea to cover the entire care when spraying paint near it. You'd be surprised how far the aerosol can spread in a 'no wind' environment.

Try Meguiars clay or most any type of clay product for any remaining stuff.

This. If you are ever painting, cover everything within a 30ft radius of where you are painting. If you are using an HVLP gun (and with how cheap you can get a decent on and a compressor, if you do ANY amount of painting it's worth it) cover everything in a 50ft radius, or preferably make a makeshift booth around what you are painting.
Bastards at my workplace decided to HVLP spray a truck white and not tell anyone to move their cars before they did. I had white overspray over the entirety of my black car. Took 4 hours of straight claybar to get it all off.
