How to Remove Spray Paint From a Car Interior

Removing spray paint isn't the easiest task, especially when it is on the inside of your automotive vehicle. Interior spray paint stains can't be power washed off and you don't want to use too powerful of a cleaner because the smell may be intolerable. Here are a few easy ways to remove spray paint from the interior of your vehicle.

Removing Spray Paint From Your Car's Interior

Put on your protective eye wear and rubber gloves.

Mix a bowl of warm water with dish soap. Use a microfiber towel to scrub the spray paint stain in a circular motion. Dry the area with a towel.

If soapy water doesn't remove the car paint stain, try scrubbing acrylic nail polish remover or acetone nail polish remover on the affected area with a Q-tip and cotton balls. Wipe it clean with a water damp towel. Dry the area with a towel.

If nail polish remover doesn't remove the stain, try scrubbing rubbing alcohol on the spray paint with a Q-tip and cotton balls. Wipe the rubbing compound clean with a water damp towel. Dry the area with a towel.

If rubbing alcohol doesn't remove the stain, try scrubbing eucalyptus oil on the spray paint with a Q-tip and cotton balls. You can find this on amazon. Wipe it clean with a water damp towel. Dry the area with a towel.

If a clear coat of eucalyptus oil doesn't remove the paint job stain, try scrubbing oven cleaner on the spray paint with a Q-tip and cotton balls. Clean up with a water damp towel. Dry the area with a towel and pull away any dried paint.

If oven cleaner doesn't remove the stain, try scrubbing paint thinner on the spray paint with a Q-tip and cotton balls. This is the strongest solvent so be careful with the car surface and car’s paint job. Wipe it clean with a water damp towel. Dry the area with a towel.
