When I moved into a place where there was a lot of white paint on the red capet I used a very sharp small scissor and snipped off the carpet fiber just below the paint splat. It takes some patience for one session of clipping but I had a nice looking carpet for the years that I was there.

You could try an organic solvent like turpentine ... However, your carpet is probably not colorfast enough to take it without it bleaching out the carpet. I think you might be stuck with paint splotches on your carpet, unfortunately.

You might try GoofOff or Oophs. They are both suppose to remove latex paint. I know they work on wood.

There is a smelly cleaner sold at hardware and I think wal mart stores to get it off..also have heard if its water based paint to use water to get it out and if its oil based use pain thinner..check with your local hardware department or store n see what they have.

Two links below: first is for non-latex paint, second is for latex, both from eHow.com -- lots of tips for this kind of stuff there. Good luck!

If it is water based and recent it may come off with soap and water or with a steam cleaner.
If it is oil based, you may have a permanent stain.

I would just trim it out if possible (with scissors).
