Also, I moved your thread along with a lot of other threads asking "How To" questions from the "How To Articles" forum to Detailing 101

Detailing 101 is for how-to questions.

the "How To Articles" forum group is for actual articles, not questions, on how-to do something.


No big deal but there is a difference.

A painter managed to lose a 5 gallon bucket of paint on the road in front of me this fall.

Best thing I did was drive home right away to powerwash and scrub as much off as possible before it dried.

The next day, I used auto body prep solvent to remove the heavy spots - that left thin film on the car. Did a second pass with prep solvent. Finished with clay bar. It was a lot of work, but you wouldn't know it happened until you looked at the wheel wells and tires.

Ok lol, sorry for bad grammar, what I mean is how to remove latex paint from car body.

Try virgin laquer thinner. On paint that is.

i would try some tar remover on a microfiber first, if thats not getting your anywhere or taking a long time try a normal clay bar(clay magic blue,meguiars OTC white, mothers yellow) and clay lube and that should work, if still not working you might need a heavier clay but im thinking you wont...good luck

could always call jeff suggs LOL (crap now he might show up here because i said his name) <this is a joke dont use jeff suggs

Black spray paint will remove it from the fenderwells http://www.3sgto.org/images/smilies/more/4.gif

Seriously though, if its Latex (most house paint is) a good wash should remove most if not all of it if its fresh

As mentioned, Laquer Thinner might come in handy. Plastic razor blades would make short work of it for the fenderwells (or black spray paint) http://www.3sgto.org/images/smilies/bawc/icon23.gif

I wouldn't try that on a dry surface ^

Soap, water, apc, plastic razorblades, fingernails and time is the answer
