Removing emulsion paint from car upholstery
« on: August 31, 2016, 12:52:28 pm »
Paint lid came off and the paint was initially in the boot then flowed under the rear seats. The driver came in and asked for help. Has anyone got ideas on removal and then cleaning.Thanks

Mop up as much as you can, any decent citrus pre spray should do it.
It will take a lot of rinsing

I refuse all paint jobs as it just fecks ups your pipes and equipment extracting it.

wowzer, never done paint on upholstery that bad!

I'd probably get as much up as I could with a general solution clean, very hot water, then dab with a small amount of Meths probably, on the stubborn bits.

great pic bob

This was outside B & Q a lady had stacked the tins on her back seat, I never gave a price till after the job as I wasn't sure how long it would take, luckily it wasn't as long as I thought
