How to get remove paint spots from my car?

My father was painting the fences of my house and my car was parked too near to the edge of the fence. One side of my car was found with spots of paints splattered on it, on the doors, the windows and the whole area, on one side of my car. My car is metalic gold in colour and my father was using light peach colour paint. Thinner that he used for the paint wouldn't removed it as it be stained overnight without me realizing it till morning when i was about to go to work. Is there anyway to get rid of these spots of paints without hurting my original car paint?

1. Is it possible that he used LATEX paint?? If so, you might be in luck. Latex paint will break down when subjected to good old water. Sometimes a spray of Windex (or other light-duty glass cleaner) will start the process. Let soak in for 5 minutes. Rub it out with a cloth. Be patient. Don't over-scrub. If he used Oil based paint, you're probably out of luck. Try this: Carefully take a razor blade and scrape just the splattered paint without digging into the car's paint. OR Take it to a body shop to get an opinion. Until you complete the remedy, try to keep the car out of the sun. Sooner you are able to remedy, the better. BTW - I wouldn't go near paint thinner. It's useless against Latex. And if the offending paint is Oil based, unfortunately, the thinner won't discriminate between the offending paint and your original car paint. Perhaps apply to only the splatter with a que-tip? Sounds scary to me.
2. I would try acetone straight out of the can. As soon as the paint is off wash the acetone off the area. This will strip any wax you have on as well but just wash and rewax when you are finished. I helped a neighbor of mine once clean spray paint off of his car, he got tagged by vandals! Acetone did it and you would never know it looking at his car today. Of course if it was Latex don't bother some soapy hot water and a little elbow grease is going to do the job just fine.
