I realise it was incredibly stupid  to get some on there anyway but I needed a quick fix.
Unfortunately I have idiotically  dripped some onto my paintwork and I'm not sure how to remove it without screwing the paintwork, or if that's even possible.
I've heard that brake cleaner can help I'm not sure how accurate that is and all the super glue "removers" will damage the paintwork, I would've thought?
ANY help appreciated

Yeah thought about claying but not sure that'd be strong enough? its a hefty dribble 
Might just end up re-spraying

Its risky but maybe very fine wet and dry paper? Maybe use a very small bit wrapped around the blunt end of a pencil, being veryy careful taking it down to the laquer

Can you not get some one with long nails to try and pick it off, or try a butter knife and be very careful, try lifting it off the surface.
Sticky stuff remover might work, not sure tho

I work with glue for a living dont try sanding it down it'll be slow and you'll cause damage to surrounding area in the process, you need to get some solvent which will get rid of the glue far easier. If I were you I'd test it on an inconspicous area before attempting the surface mind to make sure you dont do any more damage than good (i.e. underneath bonnet). If it was me I'd then T cut the surrounding area then polish + wax to reprotect the paintwork.

I seen this post and thought of petrol!
Lee maybe right in saying diesel but i know for sure petrol will do the trick without damage.
ive tryed and tested petrol to remove bitumen from a WHITE car, Insurance wrote it off as CAT C but it cost me ONLY £5 petrol to remove it all.....
Buffed it afterwards and was BRILLIANT WHITE AGAIN!

Maybe someone will know better but maybe trying chewing gum remover might do the trick, The type that freeze's it before you take it off. I used it to get the glue off when I debadged my car but I sprayed it onto a cloth not the car, Worked a treat. Washed the car right afterwards so noon was left on the paintwork.
