removing paint from side mirror

Hi Guys

I got my car repainted the other day and I noticed that some of the spray got on the side mirror. What's the easiest way to remove paint from a mirror? Just use razor blade?

I would try using paint thinner or paint reducer on the glass only

Try clay barring the mirror. That usually works pretty well on paint overspray.

On the actual mirror part or the plastic mirror assembly?
