Try using a clay bar and see how that goes. If it doesnt come off, you might need to get a pro to wetsand it.

From my experience with paint transfer.

Option One:

Rubbing Alcohol and Distilled Water mix. 1:1 ratio.

Usage: Wash and dry your vehicle down as you usually would then spray the solution on the affected area and just let it sit for a couple of seconds then start rubbing the paint off. After the red paint has been removed grab your favourite light polish and polishing pad and lightly polish the area to remove any light marring that may have occured from the microfiber.

Option Two:

Clay and Clay lubricant:

Usage: Wash and dry your vehicle. Use clay and the lubricant to remove the paint. After paint is removed polish as you would in option one.

Option Three:

Light polish like Meguiars 205 or Menzerna PO85rd and a polishing pad.

Usage: wash and dry your vehicle. Since the area has already been clayed you don't have to clay it again. Now apply the polish to your pad. Spread it on the affected area and start making circular motions until red paint is removed. If the light polishes do not work you can bump it up to something more aggressive but keeping in mind you will have to drop the polish back down to refine the affected area.

Good luck and hope things work out.

Cheers,
Nick
