Right ive had this done to me before. I waited for the paint splatters to dry then i chipped of what i could with my nails (sounds odd but it worked and i didnt know how else to avoid scratching my car) and then used tea/ cut polish over it. Dont know if thats much help to you but thats how i got it off mine

Clay bar will take it off, safer and more effective than t-cut

Clay bar is quicker and induces less marring
