Would this come off?

The previous owner before me, had little scratches nothing major. Something that little pen you buy at AZ for a few bucks and it touches it up, but the guy before me decided to spray paint over it

and now it looks like this on every side but my front. If I was to wet sand this off ( correct me if I am wrong ) would it come off? or would it ruin my paint? Should I just re-paint the whole car?

Sand it and see what's underneath, a reputable body man could probably fix it fairly cheap without painting your whole car

Or have someone experienced with a buffer use some heavy cut cleaner to buff the spray paint off. Might be a little safer than wet sanding.

Must of got a good deal on the car.

Take it to a couple body shops and get quotes.

Wet sanding on most factory paints is a no-no. I'd try some compound with a terry applicator, or seeing if an experienced person with a rotary and some compound can do anything. If not, find a body shop.

I'll stick with the pros doing it. Don't want to take a chance. I got the car at 59K miles for little less then 3 grand.

Meguires has some good compounds out...

If you had experience using a buffer, you could do it yourself, but I'll assume you don't, so yeah, paying someone to do it will be the cheapest option.
