Overspray

Try some wd-40 on a rag. It shouldn't do anything to your plastic/rubber bumpers but try it in a small area just to be safe.
 
It depends on the kind of overspray. Some overspray is a cheap repaint. Others is minor pollution. Some has activator in it, some doesn't.

First try clay.
Then talk to a local auto supply store. There is a product with a foam aerosol liquid and hard plastic sponge that is supposed to work.
If your car is Urethane Enamel paint, a reducer will work. Try underneath a bumper to check for damage, don't rub too hard.
If it is a different paint system, an auto paint thinner may work. Thinners & reducers are a last measure.
 
I had one like this and used APC with soapy water and a stiff bristle brush, this seemed to lift most of it and not hurt the plastic. I also started with clay as suggested already that seemed to pickup the overspray on the surface.
 
Thanks for your tips, i will give it a try. I was afraid of the clay getting stuck in the textured plastic, but i think i will try the clay first.
 
Don't worry about the clay getting stuck in the plastic...it will wash right off with a brush and soapy water....Its easier to get out than the overspray.....Let us know how things come out
 
your pretty much screwed, the plastic adhears to the paint. for more tips and advice check out RespectTheMullet.com
