Any ideas to Remove paint overspray from tupperware??

[stevencovert]

Here's a new one! In my garage on a shelf an old spray paint can's bottom exploded. Guess it's over 10 years old. It blew across my whole garage and of course my Spyder. Now it's covered with dots of paint. I can easily scrape it off with my fingernail, but we would be talking many many hours. So far a kitchen scrub brush & dawn doesn't get the spots off. I'm wondering if any of you might know a trick? I'm thinking Goo-Gone and a mild scrubby? Any ideas? I was thinking maybe something similar happened to one of you.

THanks!

I would be careful about using Goo Gone. I used it once to remove adhesive from the doors on my truck. It worked like a charm. Unfortunately once it dried it left discoloration on all four doors of my crew cab. Luckily I took it to Maaco who was able to buff it all back to normal. I thought I was going to have to have it repainted. Lesson learned.

google " Kleen Strip " .... it's milder than the normal kind and should do the job ..... I use it to re-move any TAR or Bug debris on my Spyders ..... Mike :thumbup:

Evaporates fast and wash with warm soapy water immediately after getting the paint off!....:thumbup:...Bill

Orange oil. Works a charm and not abusive to paint what-so-ever.

I used a clay bar on overspray on my truck. Black on black truck. Couldn't really see it, just feel it and it was light. Don't know how heavy your spots are or if it will work for heavier spots. But the added advantage is a nice smooth paint finish.

I wouldn't use acetone on paint; it might well remove the paint. Thats some strong stuff. At least consider it a "last resort".

Try a light rubbing compound. Yeah I agree acetone maybe ruff on the plastic and paint.

Try this, very good. Works for polishing with course, medium and fine polishing pads - one product does all three.

I agree with the clay bar, I own a body shop and it works wonders and will not harm the painted surface!

I was in the residential and commercial painting business for 23 years. There were the occasional instances of sprayed oil-base paint getting blown onto cars is they parked where we told them not to with signage. People would then complain we got paint on their cars. I found that both acetone and residential grade lacquer thinner could be used with a soft cloth without harming automotive finishes of either just paint or clear-coat. We never had a problem with it and did always rinse with soapy water immediately after using either one. Haven't had to do that on a Spyder yet and hope I don't ever have too, but I would think they have as good of paint as most cars.

About 30 years ago someone told me about using Kerosene with a soft cloth, have used it ever since to get tar, oil, tree sap and paint over spray off. Rinse off with a good car wash soap and water, has worked for me. You can pick it up at any hardware or camping store.

Dealer uses ez off oven cleaner to remove paint. Don’t leave it on long just wipe immediately. I haven’t done this but saw them take off painted pinstripe.
