Hey
Any suggestions on how to remove enamel paint overspray from a garage concrete floor....its dried and about a month old.
Thinners and a scrubbing brush???
Cover it in concrete coloured paint???
Cheers

Brake fluid works a treat on enamel.....most of those franchised brake repair outfits provide paint removal as a free service.

I painted a fish pond recently with a 2 pack paint, the thinners required is called "(half) 1/2 thinners". This will remove enamel paint, I know, it took all the paint off my best and most expensive paint brush, down to bear wood. :eek:
If it goes against the grain, it's being rubbed the wrong way!

Go to a paint place that has spray painters supplies and get some "gunwash".
It is super duper real potent thinners that will remove the enamel.
Wash with soap and water afterwards. HTH.

Go easy on the "foresight" if you use to much it can make you "cockeyed"
