Wet Paint
1. Using a dull knife or metal spoon, scrape up any excess paint.
2. Make a solution of warm water and dish soap. Using a sponge, scrub the area, rinsing the sponge as needed. Make sure to saturate the area and rub using a circular motion until no more color can be removed.
3. If the stain remains, try using a soft bristle brush with the warm, soapy water to remove more of the stain.
4. If the stain remains, try spraying a mild degreaser such as Formula 409 on the affected area. Work it in with a soft bristle brush or cloth and let it sit for a few minutes. Wipe the area with a wet soapy cloth and repeat, as needed.
