There are many home remedies for removing car paint, depending on the material that has been painted or stained. If you need to remove paint from metal, such as a car, there are mechanical methods you can use that do not involve chemical strippers. When you need to remove paint from clothes, rubbing alcohol or a spray lubricant may work. Home remedies can be used as an alternative to dangerous chemicals.
Mechanical Methods
One way to remove car paint from metal without using an industrial chemical stripper is known as "clean and strip." This involves using a poly-abrasive disc attachment with an angle grinder. A poly-abrasive disc looks like a sponge but is made of hard material designed to quickly cut through paint. Attach the disc to your angle grinder, then make circular motions over the metal to remove the paint. You will then need to go over the entire area with wire wool to remove any excess paint.
Alcohol or Lubricant
Car paint tends to get on clothes accidentally when you're working on a painting project. Most chemicals that are used to remove car paint, such as paint thinner or lacquer thinner, can discolor or damage the fabric, and may not be safe to use. A home remedy that you can try consists of rubbing alcohol or hair spray.
Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or hair spray to the area of clothing that is stained. You will need to use a toothbrush to gently work at the paint to remove it from the clothing.
