How to Remove Spray Paint From Your Face

Whether you're painting your patio furniture or your car, spray paint can be messy business. The fine spray that come out the nozzle can land on places you didn't intend to paint, including your face. Fortunately, since spray paint is oil-based, it is fairly simple to remove with household items or, for more stubborn marks, heavy duty paint removers.

• 1

  Soak the cloth in baby oil and apply directly to the paint. The oil should dissolve the paint.

• 2

  Leave in place for five minutes, then rub away the paint using gentle scrubbing motions. Wash the oil from your face using soap and water.

• 3

  Dampen the cloth with an acetone-based nail polish remover.

• 4

  Apply the cloth to your face. Hold in place for a moment to allow the acetone to penetrate the paint.

• 5

  Scrub your skin using a back and forth motion until the paint is removed. Wash the acetone from your skin using soap and water.

• 6

  Pour enough turpentine into the cloth to dampen it. Place the cloth directly onto the paint mark.

• 7

  Allow the turpentine to soak into the paint for several minutes then begin scrubbing.

• 8

  Rub away the paint until nothing remains. Wash your face and hands thoroughly using soap and water.
