Acrylic Paint on Plastic

While stain is wet, remove as much of the stain as possible with paper towels, using a blotting motion. Be careful not to spread the stain. Apply any of the above cleaning products and use according to the directions on the container. If stain remains, repeat procedure.

NOTE: If stain has dried, we do not offer a stain removal suggestion, since the acrylic paint will be permanent.

Clean-up stains as soon as possible, as wet paint that has not yet cured will be easier to remove.

Wet Paint:

1. Using paper towels, wipe up as much paint as possible.

2. Make a mixture of dish soap and warm water. Using a sponge or cloth, apply the soapy water to the area and use a circular motion. Continue scrubbing and rinsing the cloth or sponge until no more colorant can be removed.

3. If the stain remains, spray a mild degreaser, such as Formula 409, on the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe the area with a wet soapy cloth or sponge and repeat, as needed.

Dry Paint:

1. Using a dull knife or metal spoon, scrape up any excess paint.

2. Saturate the remaining paint with a solution of warm water and dish soap.

3. Use a sponge or cloth, and rub the area in a circular motion to help lift the paint. The warm, soapy water will help life the paint.

4. If the stain remains, spray a mild degreaser, such as Formula 409, on the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe the area with a wet soapy cloth or sponge and repeat, as needed.

Scrape or brush off excess dry or wet clay with a plastic paint scraper or soft bristle brush. Spray area with water and continue to wipe clean with paper towels. If stain or white residue remains, repeat procedure.

Rub away any dried paint with a soft cloth. Remove wet paint or any remaining stain with a damp sponge. If stain still remains, apply Soft Scrub with a soft cloth. Rinse.

To make the paint easier to remove, wet the paint and wait five (5) minutes.  Spray area with the highest setting on a garden hose nozzle, as close to the paint as possible and at a slight angle.  If any stain remains, wet the area and brush with a stiff bristle nylon brush or broom.  Rinse away completely to prevent paint from redepositing on the surface.
