Learn How To Remove Spray Paint On Car Finish

By Mark Hassendo

Spray paint could end up on your car several different ways. One it can be an over spray from another area that youre painting on the car. Two it could be an accident that someway the spray got on it. Or you decided to spray paint the car yourself, then didnt like it or made a mistake.

How tricky a job its going to be to remove it would depend on a lot of components. Firstly, you require to determine the type of paint. Hopefully it will be a water based paint which is much simpler to deal with. All you'll most likely have to do here is wash the field down well with soapy water. At present if it's an oil based paint then it causes things a little more challenging. Then another dilemma may be you don't even recognize what type of paint it is.

First, there're a few kinds of paint. It can be lacquer or acrylic. It can even be enamel but this is not as favourite as it used to be. If your primary paint on your car happens to be enamel then if the accidental spray paint is lacquer or acrylic would make the enamel paint look crumpled. Regrettably, the only solution in this case will be to scrape the region clean and then re-paint it to match the automobiles original color.

If youre fortunate enough to have an original finish of acrylic or lacquer and enamel paint has been sprayed on top of it, there won't be any wrinkles to the original. You want to check if the paint is enamel, so heres what you do.

Take whatsoever paint thinner, kerosene, gasoline or turpentine and apply a moderate amount to a clean white cloth. Now really lightly rub over the paint you need to remove. If you see the paint colour being transferred to the cloth, then its enamel. If the cloth continues to stay clear then its acrylic or lacquer. If it did turn out to be enamel then just continue to gently clean off the residue of the paint.

So if youve ended up with either lacquer or acrylic being the culprit then you'll require to go and buy the finest grade of rubbing compound on the market for car finishes. Take a hand sized white cloth and lightly moisten it with some kerosene or turpentine. Just sufficient to wet the cloth, as it prevents the compound from caking, and makes the abrasive finer, which leaves a better finish. Patience would be the virtue here, as you must keep inspecting the region you're working on so you do not take out or damage the introductory finish of the car. Work in moderate circular motions with gentle pressure. Carry on checking the colour of the paint on the cloth. Keep utilising a few other parts of the cloth, so your cloth stays fairly clean, and you're not merely putting the paint back on once more.

The best answer is of course not to spray paint the car at all. Accidents do take place though and fortunately for this unusual one theres a solution. - 21392
