How to Remove Spray Paint?

If you have olive oil at home, you can apply some to the painted area on the car, let it soak thoroughly for a while, and then wash it off with soap after a few minutes. If you can't find olive oil, apply some toilet water to the painted area, wait for a while, and then wash it off with soap.
To remove spray paint, I recommend starting with simple methods. Last time I dealt with accidental spray paint on my car, I used sandpaper: first coarse sandpaper to grind off the paint layer, then fine sandpaper to polish the surface. Remember to wear gloves to protect your hands and use gentle motions to avoid damaging the original paint. If the spray paint isn't thick, toothpaste works well too—apply some and rub repeatedly with a soft cloth, and the paint will gradually come off. Another method is using a heat gun to soften the paint surface, then gently scrape it off with a scraper. After treatment, clean thoroughly and apply wax for rust prevention. Safety first—ensure good ventilation to avoid inhaling dust. This method is effective on metal surfaces, but be careful with plastic parts to avoid overheating and deformation.
To remove spray paint, I prefer eco-friendly and healthy methods. Try household items: soak a cloth in white liquor or white vinegar, apply it to the paint for a few minutes to soften it, then wipe it off with a sponge. Baking soda paste (baking soda mixed with a little water) also works well—apply it, let it sit for a while, and then scrub gently. If that doesn’t work, opt for a specialized paint cleaner with natural ingredients, avoiding strong chemical solvents. Wear a mask and open windows for ventilation to avoid inhaling harmful fumes. For plastic surfaces, alcohol wipes work effectively; for metal surfaces, use a mild cleaning solution to prevent rust. After each treatment, check if any residual paint spots are completely removed.
