Sounds like overspray. Clay bar the car and that should remove it.

Default Two Options:

1) Go to a local store, and buy the Mothers Clay Bar Kit...

2) Find out who's doing the painting, and tell them you got overspray, and you want your car professionally detailed to remove the paint.

Go ask them what they're spraying and what solvent would be best . . .

Only if knew... The color, suspiciously, looks like the one that they paint the lane dividers on the roads with.

do the trick if the paint is not fully cured. Your local auto body supply store should stock it. It has worked out great for me on 2 occasions. If the paint has hardened a clay bar should do the job.
