Paint thinner will only work on wet oil based paint, not dry or latex paint. I would go to the home center and go to the paint department and by some of the items like Goo Gone and others that claim to remove dried paint and try them. Soaking in TSP, sold at home center, it is an industrial cleaner, may get it out but it may hurt the pants too.How do i get paint stains out of my brown cargo pants?
If the paint is dry attempt to pick it off with a very sharp thin blade knife. If it is wet still soak it in warm water not cold then apply a paste of oxy and scrub. It may take several times to get the paint out. If a stain is left, but no paint try washing in washing machine in cold water with a shout color catcher and detergent.How do i get paint stains out of my brown cargo pants?

How do you remove wall paint stains on metallic painted car?
A clay bar is one of the best things to use. If the paint is water based and is a drip wet the area and use a finger nail to peel it up. If the paint is oil based the use wd40 to remove or you can buy a solvent from an auto body supply place such as 3M adhesive remover and that will do the job. Just remember to wash and wax the car afterwardHow do you remove wall paint stains on metallic painted car?
I don't know about car enamel, but it's pretty tough stuff because it's baked on. I had some painters splash latex wall paint on my brand new cabinets and I got it off with soap and water and one of those soft plastic dish scrubbers. Basically I just sort of ';sanded'; it off with the plastic scrubber. It did take a little pressure, but in the end, it didn't dammage the cabinets. I think this approach would work on a car. You could try it on a less noticable area fist to see if it scratched the car's paint.
I don't know what you would do if it was oil-based paint.
Good Luck.How do you remove wall paint stains on metallic painted car?
A Clay Bar is good for paint overspray. You can buy a ';Mothers'; clay bar kit at any auto parts store. Also body shop supply stores has an assortmant of clay types. The clay bar is soft and like puddy. You will spray a soapy water or something and rub the clay bar across the car's paint. The clay bar will shear the higher paint off the car and the old paint will mostly end up in the clay bar.

Can i paint or stain laminated kitchen cabinets?
Before starting any sanding, be sure you know what type of laminate you are dealing with.
You are best off by washing with a strong solution of TSP (available at any paint store), then applying a primer such as BIN, which is made for, among other things, priming ';slick'; surfaces; such as masonite and glossy oil base or latex paint. One or two coats of primer should suffice. Do not try to tint the BIN, as it has a shellac base, and a lot of tints won’t mix well with it. If you want to try to tint the primer a little, try KILZ II, it has a latex base.
Be sure you use a high quality paint, with at least a semi-gloss finish.
It may be possible to stain the cabinets with a “gel” type stain, but I don’t think you’ll get the results you want.Can i paint or stain laminated kitchen cabinets?
Your cabinets are probably melamine, which can be painted after cleaning with a TSP solution. Then using an oil based paint and a foam roller. Your hardware store will carry TSP and an oil based melamine paint especially formulated for painting melamine material.
The difference in appearance of your cabinets will make you glad you went through the effort.Can i paint or stain laminated kitchen cabinets?
You can paint them, but I doubt they would take a stain. You must lightly sand the surface so that the paint will stick, however. It may require 2 coats. You should also remove the cabinets to paint them.
you can lightly sand, prime, and then paint these cabinets. i would use 120 grit sandpaper. for best result's, i would use an oil-based primer and paint from any local hardware store.
to paint them you have to first scuff them with light sand paper.to stain them is a four step process and unless you are a pro they don't come out a good as the seller tells you .better off to sand lightly and paint them
you can paint, but not stain laminate its a plastic

Should I paint or stain new pergola?
I live in the Chicago land area, and want my pergola white. It is treated pine, and has weathered over the summer and winter. what would be the best to use, stain or paint? I hope to hear from someone that is either paint smart or works with paints that can give me some knowledgeable advice. ThanksShould I paint or stain new pergola?
I would paint it, since white stain is not going to hold up to the weather. Prime it with an oil based primer, such as Benjamin Moore Fresh Start alkyd. Follow that up with 2 coats of Alkyd Low Lustre Metal and Wood Enamel. It will look great, and will stand up to Chicago winters. Hope this helps.

http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bmpsweb/por鈥?/a>Should I paint or stain new pergola?
I would assume, that since it has been painted, that it was primed already.
I would use Behr Nano-guard ext. paint,water base, sold at Home Depot.
It has it's own primer in the paint and is totally awesome.
I work with paint everyday, at Home Depot. And have sold that brand of paint, to tons of customers and they do nothing but brag about the coverage and that fact that it holds up very well.
Also, sense there are about 700 shades of white, we have competitive colors from all other companies.
But Behr is known for their pure white, premixed, right off the shelf. If that's the shade you desire.
Be sure to use a medium sheen for mildew and mold, such as satin or semi gloss!
P.S. Behr is medium priced compared to the high dollar Benjamin-Moore or Sherman Williams. But as good or better as the contractors tell me.
Hope that helped you out!
depends on the look you're going for. if it is weathered and you want a more seaside, beachie look then i would stain it. if you want a smooth and solid suburbia look then paint it. one bit of advice, if you stain it first and don't like it you can still paint it, but if you paint it first and wish you would have stained it, you can't. good luck
Use a 100% acrylic latex primer then 2 top coats of 100% acrylic exterior Latex paint. DO NOT USE OILBASED PRIMER

What can I use to get year old paint off stairs? Also. what stain products work best?
You're going to have to approach this as any other wood stripping project. Get paint stripper and make sure to get in between the seams good. When the paint has been removed, use a fine grade steel wool to ';sand'; the wood. Wash down area to be stained really well to remove any paint particles, etc., as this WILL show up in your finished project. MinWax has some good products on the market and I have used them several times, although I am more pleased with Cabot stains. Good luck!What can I use to get year old paint off stairs?

If you were ever to remove paint stains from clothing, what would be the best method? Why?
Thinking CHEMISTRY wise!
Would the best method be to put rubbing alcohol? But why? I have to explain what components inside rubbing alcohol would make the paint stain dissapear... I'm not even sure if rubbing alcohol is the best method.
Please help!
Thanks.If you were ever to remove paint stains from clothing, what would be the best method? Why?
it depends on what kind of paint...you might need something to dissolve it a little
then you also need to know if the paint molecules are polar or non-polar.

Painting Sidewalk? Concrete paint? Acid wash? Stain? High traffic?
What's a good way to paint/stain/ or any way to rejuvenate the sidewalk? It's not city busy traffic but like little small town strip kind of traffic.
I was hoping we can paint the sidewalk to make it look fresher. Is there a good way? Thanks for any help.Painting Sidewalk? Concrete paint? Acid wash? Stain? High traffic?
Hello, You want to clean the concrete with TSP (Tri sodium Phosphate) and a stiff bristle brush. Any dirt left on the surface and you willl have poor paint adhesion. After which I would acid wash with a 1 to 4 solution of pool acid. 1 part pool acid to 4 parts water (apply this with the stiff bristle brush on a broom handle also). After which you need to rinse off with clean water to neutelize the acid. Let it dry completely. You can go to a paint store such as Pittsburgh paint or Sherwin williams and they will reccommend an exterior concrete stain for your project. I would not waste my time at Home Depot or the other home improvement stores. You want to go to a professional paint store for a good product and expert advise. TSP and Acid are fairly cheap. You want to spend a little extra on the paint (stain) and get a good quality product. I have done a couple of concrete surfaces with 1 part exterior flat paint to four gallons water repellent with good adhesion and wear quality. Good luck TerryPainting Sidewalk? Concrete paint? Acid wash? Stain? High traffic?
Is this city property? Because you can't fix or paint city property. If it isn't then Home Depot has new materials that you can use to refinish your existing concrete without pulling up the old and pouring new. They work really well but you have to have the knowledge and experience to use them. They also have concrete paint and stain. So if you want to resurface and then paint or stain. Or if you just want to paint or stain your existing concrete to rejuvenate it. These things are not real expensive either compared to pouring a new walk.
Good luck

How can I remove neon body paint stains from my white dress?
It was the first time in wearing it to a party, and someone thought it would be funny to cover me in neon pink body paint. The dress is made out of 100% viscose. would I be able to get the stains out from household bleach or something?
Thanks! :)How can I remove neon body paint stains from my white dress?
use bleachHow can I remove neon body paint stains from my white dress?
if it's made from viscose it's dry clean only. if you try washing it could shrink and warp. water does this to viscose. i would take it to your dry cleaners. if the paint is dry and flaky, you could try using a very dry hard sponge to rub it off. do a test spot first to make sure you won't damage the fabric. there is a product out there called ';miss oops'; it's a special sponge, they sell it at david's bridal for $12 that works wonders on dry stains like deodorant and makeup, if this sounds like that kind of stain it will work wonders getting this sort of thing out.

Unless your shoes are leather or suedeIs there a way to clean paint stains from shoes?
If your shoes are made of leather,put them in the freezer for a few hours and then put pressure on the stain,the paint should crack and peel off semi-easy.
If they are made of cloth,the only way to take the paint off is to scrape it off,in a pinch you could paint the rest of the shoes so you have a matched pair.
One note to the paint contractor above,normal people do not paint walls in their $300.00 dress shoes.
Jason,
I have been a paint contractor for many years. Every time I get paint on an article of clothing I am certain I can get it (the paint) out. Believe me on this. The ability to remove the paint is inversely related to the price of the article. If they are 10.95 dollar tree shoes the paint will come out like a dream but, if the shoes are 300.00 dress shoes....it ain't comming out.
You might try isopropyl alcohol or a strong ammonia cleaner.

If you have comprehensive coverage insurance on your vehicle you may be able to have your paint job redone. Usually there is a $300 deductible to pay, but if it's not resolvable any other way - it is at least an option for you to consider. Check your policy %26amp; with your body shop guy.

When I was a young boy growing up in Africa I suffered similar problems (I enjoyed painting on large rocks and in caves).
In my tribe we used human feces for a host of purposes due to our scarce environment. We used it for toothpaste, sunscreen, fire fuel, facial lotion, and as a detergent.
Get 1 and 1/2 cups of your own feces (solid preferably), mix them in water and a generic hand-soap, and soak your shirt! The paint stains will come right out! (You will have a stinky shirt though).What is the best way to get oil paint stains out of your shirt?
Don't wear anything you don't want to get oil paint on while you're painting... I have many outfits that have paint stains on them before I realized this.
If you catch it right when it happens, dry putting a little bit of turpentine on in and see if you can get it out and wash it later - otherwise get used to looking artsy!!!
You work in an Art Dept and don't toss on a cover-up?
Prevention logic aside-- your best bet (and this is no guarantee) when dealing wiht an oil/wax based stain is to pre-treat it with dish soap (liquid) directly, then wash it (alone). Again, no promises-- but dish soap is designed to ';cut greae'; adn works great on lipstick stains anyway! :) When I was in Art School, we just made it a point not to wear anything we didn't want ruined. :)
I sat in red oil paint with white cotton shorts once and my prof gave me ';Kiss-off'; it took me a while in the bathroom but I finally got it off (it was a tad bit pink...but pretty successful if you ask me!)...there was a lot so Kiss-off should work better for smaller stains. It looks like a glue stick and is meant to get lipstick out.
Either throw it out! (After using the same shirt for a thousand days) OR use mineral spirits...(hardware store) when the stains are fresh! SO NOT WASH THIS in a machine....use your hands and soap and water after the mineral spirits treatment! NO mechanical wash! The best idea is to use an over=sized shirt from the Thrift Shop!!! Oils are flammable like you can't believe! Good luck and paint Free!!!!!
You don't. They're there forever I'm afraid. No matter what anyone NEVER EVER use mineral spirits to get paint out, it can ignite in your washer or dryer, and it can burn your skin. Trust me, I'm well aware of what happens with paint stains :)
Klean Strip makes a product called Paint Clean-up. It's great stuff. I'm not an oil painter but I use 1-shot sign painters enamel. It's oil based, and Paint Clean-up works great on that. You can get a quart of it at Lowe's or Home Depot for about five bucks.

Prevention logic aside-- your best bet (and this is no guarantee) when dealing wiht an oil/wax based stain is to pre-treat it with dish soap (liquid) directly, then wash it (alone). Again, no promises-- but dish soap is designed to ';cut greae'; adn works great on lipstick stains anyway! :) When I was in Art School, we just made it a point not to wear anything we didn't want ruined. :)
I sat in red oil paint with white cotton shorts once and my prof gave me ';Kiss-off'; it took me a while in the bathroom but I finally got it off (it was a tad bit pink...but pretty successful if you ask me!)...there was a lot so Kiss-off should work better for smaller stains. It looks like a glue stick and is meant to get lipstick out.
Either throw it out! (After using the same shirt for a thousand days) OR use mineral spirits...(hardware store) when the stains are fresh! SO NOT WASH THIS in a machine....use your hands and soap and water after the mineral spirits treatment! NO mechanical wash! The best idea is to use an over=sized shirt from the Thrift Shop!!! Oils are flammable like you can't believe! Good luck and paint Free!!!!!
You don't. They're there forever I'm afraid. No matter what anyone NEVER EVER use mineral spirits to get paint out, it can ignite in your washer or dryer, and it can burn your skin. Trust me, I'm well aware of what happens with paint stains :)
Klean Strip makes a product called Paint Clean-up. It's great stuff. I'm not an oil painter but I use 1-shot sign painters enamel. It's oil based, and Paint Clean-up works great on that. You can get a quart of it at Lowe's or Home Depot for about five bucks.
Buying a paint/stain air sprayer, which one is better? Air compressor type or electric type. Pros/cons of each?
Wood treatments and stains electric are much cheaper and work fine.Buying a paint/stain air sprayer, which one is better? Air compressor type or electric type. Pros/cons of each?
The best for house painting are the HVLP (High volume low pressure) dedicated sprayers. As for electric vs. air, air will give better results, faster with a good compressor. Electric sprayers such as the Wagner power painter are ok for home fixup use, easiert to clean and maintain, cheaper, but will take longer to cover an area and are not as versatile, also they will use more paint. Air sprayers will cover more area faster, especially if you get a siphon feed sprayer that sucks paint right out of the bucket instead of a quart bottle. Air is definitely the way to go painting metal and has more adjustments for painting various coatings.Buying a paint/stain air sprayer, which one is better? Air compressor type or electric type. Pros/cons of each?
Air compressor style is for thin paints and coatings and allows the paint to be atomized, feathered and controlled. It also blows it all over the place which is why paint booths are a good idea. It shoots compressed air through the nozzle and the paint is sucked into the stream and mixed with the air. Used for automotive paints.
For house paints and other thick coatings you need direct pump sprayer that uses a piston pump on the paint to directly force it through the sprayer like a pressure washer. The hand held 'buzz box' sprayers uses an electromagnet and diaphragm or small piston in a similar fashion. It's like squirting a bottle of Windex really fast.
One type of sprayer cannot do both types of paints well.
Hi,
The professionals we sell to buy airless sprayers, they are designed to spray anything from clear oil sealers to heavy bodied acrylic paints. The only thing they need to change is the tip size to accommodate the type of product. On average a piston pump vs a diaphragm will last years even if used on a daily basis. These are the professional models not the Big Box store imitations. $850.00 is an average price for something that will last %26amp; make money for you. Cleaning up %26amp; maintaing is the most important part of making them last.
HVLP sprayers are great for fine finishing ie cabinetry, molding, furniture etc.
Depends if cost is a factor, electric is cheaper and does a good job if you are using air comp. type you will need to have a moisture handler in the line.
Depends on usage - what you are painting.
Cars - Air by a mile
Fences etc etc - Electric ones are fine
Air compressor
Compressed air paint sprayers can save money, offer flexibility, and decrease pollution by using air, rather than aerosol propellants to spray your paint. This technique requires an investment, but for frequent maintenance or shop use, the cost can be well worth it. The unit o tused iis known as a LVLP(low volume, low pressure) sprayer, which applies paint at a lower rate, decreasing airborn paritculates, while applying less paint on each pass.
Spray painting is far more efficient than other methods in certain instances, such as covering large areas with the same color or painting intricate surfaces such as furniture or grillwork, where other tools won't reach all surfaces. It requires some practice in order to handle the equipment and get an even paint covering.
Spray equipment has been available to homeowners for many years, but airless sprayers offer an easier way for do-it-yourselfers to spray paint. Airless sprayers eject paint at high pressure and must be handled carefully to avoid possible injury. An electric airless paint system consists of a paint container, high-pressure pump, motor, handle, and housing and pressure regulator. Extension nozzles, longer suction tubes, extra nozzles and viscosity measuring cup are optional accessories.
Important points to remember in using an airless sprayer, as with other types of sprayers, are proper paint consistency, pressure and tip selection.
Choice of spraying tip depends on paint consistency, but generally the thinner the paint, the smaller the tip needed.
Paint consistency also governs pump pressure. Thinner materials such as stains, lacquers, enamels and sealers require less pressure than heavier materials such as house and wall paint.
Paints formulated for brush or roller application may be too thick for spraying. They should be tested and thinned if necessary.
Other types of spraying equipment have several operational differences.
A suction gun has a vent hole in the cover of the paint cap. A stream of compressed air creates a vacuum, allowing atmospheric pressure to force material from the container to the spray-head. These guns usually are limited to quart-sized containers or smaller and are used where many color changes are necessary.
In a pressure-fed system, the material is force fed to the gun when large amounts of the same color are being used, when materials are too heavy to be siphoned from a cap or container by suction, or when fast application is required.
Non-bleeder sprayers cannot release air until the trigger is pulled. These are used when air is supplied from a tank or from a compressor having pressure control.
A bleeder gun releases air at all times, thus preventing the pressure from building up to a point of popping the safety valve.
Some paint sprayers can be adapted to other uses with proper accessories. For example, an air-gun attachment blows dust from objects to prepare the surface for painting; an adjustable pressure-relief valve regulates maximum air pressure on air guns; an inflater attachment converts the sprayer into a pump to inflate toys, tires, etc.
Another type of applicator in this category is a rotary-disc airless paint sprayer. An auger pump pulls paint from a container mounted under the electrically powered spraying head into a high-speed spinning disc. Centrifugal force from the spinning disc causes the paint to flow through a variable gate opening.
The gate control regulates size of paint swath and eliminates nozzles and high-pressure injection hazards.
High-volume, low-pressure paint sprayers reduce the amount of over-spray typically caused by airless sprayers and conventional, air-powered spray guns. More paint reaches the surface and painters save time and money on paint, drop cloths and masking.

If you use air make sure its a top feed bumb... this helps with the thick and thin paints as will as stain.

Any Ideas on Getting A Paint Stain Out [[Shirt!!!]]?
Ok...so i got paint on like one of my favorite shirts :( %26amp;%26amp;%26amp; im going 2 a party this weekend %26amp; i really want 2 wear it...but ive tried everything...I would just buy another one but i got it from NY %26amp; i live n VA...major transportation problem...so i need some ideas PLEASEAny Ideas on Getting A Paint Stain Out [[Shirt!!!]]?
spray and wash is my bff! lol, but if you scrubb it with a LITTLE detergant and WARM watter then use spray and wash and wash it you SHOULD get it out... hope this helps!Any Ideas on Getting A Paint Stain Out [[Shirt!!!]]?
What type of paint is it? Acrylic based paints could possibly peel off it the paint dried on whatever spot until you noticed it. (This is more so for house paints...) Artists acrylic is water based so you might actually be able to scrub most of it out but it really depends on the color. Certain colors WON'T come out. Now oil based paints...I would try something like paint thinner...but it might be a little harsh on your shirt...and considering I am not sure what kind of fabric, of there is anything screen printed on...then I can't promise you that won't also ruin your shirt. If it's just cotton then give it a shot - although I will warn you it is stinky. Read the label first. Um what else...definitely DON'T just the thinner on any type of screened on image...it will dissolve it as well, most likely.
My best advice is A) DON'T wear your fav. shirt while painting! : ) and B) When you figure out what type of paint it was, what fabric your shirt is...then google something along the lines of ';How do I remove an _____ paint stain from a _____ (%26lt;type of fabric) shirt?';
(Don't write what was in the parenthesis!) Good luck...but some colors just won't come out. Oh and whenever you are done was the shirt, of course. Sometimes just plain old washing will work. USE COLD WATER! Hot water generally sets in stains!
scrub it with soap let it soak in the sink. then put it in the washing machine and use spray and wash.

I have two options for you:
1) is a product called ';GOO GONE';
it's actually an adhesive remover, but I've found it to
remove some paints.
-it can sometimes be found at dollar stores, or walmart
2) is to take the pants to your local dry cleaner,
they have special solvents to dissolve paints, plus the dry cleaning fluid alone will help to break down the paint.How do i get paint stains of my jeans trousers?
it ain't gonna happen... just acquire another pair and bite the bullet and have some coffee and a slice of pecan pie
just paint your jeans all the one colour
