Default spray paint - how to get it off paint?

Looks like I got a few drops of black spraypaint on my fender. I must have done it while I wous touchig up the frame. It's been on for a while....how do I get it off? This is on a laquer paint job.

Clay bar should do it just fine.

I've used it before and it works great.

Mineral Spirits might work depending on the type of spray-can paint it was and won't hurt lacquer or any other type of auto paint.

Even a small dab of white polishing compound on a soft cotton cloth should do the trick with out hurting the paint, just rub lightly when you do it though.
