Don't use paint thinner. You a very fine grit like 1000 or 2000 grit sand paper and sand it off, then wax polish over it or use more touchup paint.

The paint thinner will not damage the paint. Just put a small amount on a rag and wipe off the offending paint. DO NOT SAND THE PAINT unless you really Know what you are doing. an other good product you could try that is milder then Paint thinner is SPeedy 500. Good luck with that.
