Removing Paint from PVC Window

coolmangg · 2014-01-22 15:47:25

Hi, Our painter has dripped some of their paint, (Acrylic) onto the pvc window frames. Is it ok to use Methylated Spirits to remove this? Don't want to damage the frames!? Thanks

Acrylic is water based so no need for meths. Get some hot soapy water and a sponge, and give it a good scrub. The longer you leave that paint on the window frames the harder its going to be to remove it.
By the way, your painter is taking a big chance painting outside in these temperatures.
