How can you get both Acrylic and Enamel model paint off the carpet?

let's see...let's NOT use nail polish remover, as chances are, your carpet is made of fibres that will melt when you use it.


Acrylic paint has an adversion to ammonia. Simple ammonia (with effort) will take out the acrylic paint. Cleaners such as Fantastic, will also help with acrylic.


Enamel...ok, I'd try the toothpaste thing first, what the heck. If that doesn't work...and you're up for it...the only thing I know that moves hardened enamel is Airbrush retorer (cleans hardened enamel and acrylic paint from surfaces). Createx makes one, so does Auto Air. Because it's something I'm fairly sure you don't have at home, I'd use this as a last ditch effort.How can you get both Acrylic and Enamel model paint off the carpet?
Before you use any cleaning product on your carpet, test it in a small area in the corner or out of sight.





Read the label of the paint container for information about which product will work best. If you don't have the label, type the name or type of the paint into your search box along with the word remover.





I removed enamel paint from my playroom carpet with an old toothbrush and toothpaste. Yes, toothpaste removes many stains and spots from hard to treat surfaces.How can you get both Acrylic and Enamel model paint off the carpet?
Try nail polish remover. but be sure to test it in a non conspicuous place first.
BUY A NEW CARPET!!!
Cut away the carpet with the stain. Then cut a piece the same shape from an area hidden by furniture and use that to patch the carpet.
