How to removed paint from paint

06RedfireGT · October 30th, 2009, 02:47 AM

I've got some white house paint on my front bumper, it got rubbed on there from a piece of wood (don't ask).

I tried using a claybar to no avail. Any suggestions?

is the house paint water based or what?
might try using a buffer/sander, or you might have to repaint

paint thinner should wipe it right off (dont rub too hard), and then wax over the spot real well. But if a claybar wont take it off, it must be pretty thick? try just picking it off with your nail too.

I used acetone and qtips to get spray paint off a part of my car, I didn't get all of it, but it worked. Clear coat on my car seems fairly stout, don't worry so much about damaging it.

Fresh or been there awhile. If fresh, I'd try some grease and wax remover to see if it would lift it first, then move to more aggressive methods.

Get a brand new clay bar and mix up a bottle with a 50/50 mix of Simple Green. Clay it then and see if you can't get anything out.

If that fails, you will need an aggressive clay like Meguiars Professional Detailing Clay Aggressive

Thanks guys.

It is been on the bumper for about 4-5 days.

The clay I was using was just what comes in the Meguires clay kit from walmart. I was using some meguires quick detailer as lube.
