If you're still with us,
be advised that some overspray can be difficult to remove with a clay bar. Having said that, some manufactures of clay bars have different grades of clay bars to handle different jobs. For example, Clay Magic had a blue bar, and a red bar. The Blue bar is less abrasive than the red bar, and will not remove overspray that the red bar will. Keep in mind that the more abrasive bars can cause some swirl marks, so you may need (and should) polish after using a clay bar.
Good luck getting the overspray off!

This is an interesting article on the subject. This guy is a real purist and is very cautious, perhaps to the point of being paranoid in the opinion of some, but he does make some interesting points about the potential for damage when using a clay bar.
That said, SO many knowledgeable folks on this site seem to have had excellent success with a clay bar and they can't all be wrong. I've never used one on my truck, figuring I'll wait until it really needs it because you clearly are removing at least some paint, but I did do the "test on the wife's car first" approach, and it made her 5-year-old Mazda (black) look better than new, and it did no damage whatsoever.
Good luck!
