How can you remove household paint off a car?

While pulling into my garage, I accidentally scraped the side of the garage door frame with the front left front bumper of my car. I have white paint from the garage door frame on the bumper (which is dark blue like the rest of the car). What's the best way to remove the white paint with minimal damage to the car finish?

    the best way is to get some wet sand paper 2000 grit and wet sand it using a block until you do not see the white paint then you will have to buff it to get the shine back but it will work also if you want to make your paint job look new again you can do the whole car and it will remove oxidation and flaws in the paint such as orange peel which all factory paint jobs have
