How to Remove Automotive Spray Paint?

[LaHailey]

Methods for removing spray paint: 1. Use paint thinning solutions such as banana oil, cooling oil, or olive oil. Apply the solution evenly to the area with spray paint, wait a few minutes for it to fully penetrate, then clean thoroughly with soap or car wash solution. 2. Gasoline can also be used. Apply gasoline to the affected area and then wash it off with soapy water. More details are as follows: 1. There is a difference between spray paint and baked paint. Firstly, the adhesion of spray paint is much weaker than that of baked paint, and low-quality paint is even worse—it may start peeling within a year. Secondly, there is a difference in the paint surface. Not only does it have a certain color difference from the original factory paint, but its gloss is also inferior to baked paint. 2. For small scratches or less noticeable parts like the grille, side panels, or bumper, spray paint can be used for surface repair. Additionally, the visual effect of spray paint is better than that of a touch-up pen because spray paint bottles come with built-in pressure, ensuring the paint is fully atomized when sprayed, resulting in a more natural-looking finish.
