I did a little art project in the bathroom and ended up with acrylic paint splatters on the tub. Is there any way I can remove them, or do I have to chip them off one by one with my fingernail? (They do come off this way but it takes forever!)

acrylic paint is water based, not oil based. Warm/hot water with a scrubbie and little elbow grease will probably work.

I had the same problem my son splashed acrylic spray paints all over the bath tub I used lots of different chemicals cleaners and scrubs then I thought I'll try fine sand paper worked a treat did not ruin my bath or scratch of the enamel after I had done it I cleaned it all with bathroom cud and its come up looking sparkling brand new ... You can get the sand paper a little wet and it still works hope this helps even try a very small dot if your worried it will scratch but mine didn't.

Wash the paint with hot water then put a little bit of Ajax or comet on each paint spot. Let it set for 2-3 minutes, then rub with hot, damp rag. It should work, but I'm not guaranteeing it. It really depends on what kind of acrylic paint it is. If it doesn't work then reapeat but use cold water.

you can use Laquer thinner. It will take the paint right off. My Mom used to own a cleanign company till she retired and that is what she used to take paint off of tubs and floors. But make sure you open a window if you do not have a window in the bathroom turn on a fan cause the thinner is strong it will make you light headed if you use to much for to long.Do not use it on plastic thought cause it will melt it. I hope this helps you out.

Remove fresh oil-base paint with a cloth dipped in turpentine or paint thinner. Wash away the residue with a solution of º cup trisodium phosphate mixed with 1 gallon of warm water. Remove fresh water-base paint with a cloth dampened with warm water and mild household detergent; such as dishwashing liquid. Scrub the area with a soft-bristled brush.

Denatured alcohol solvent and steel wool #3. The denatured alcohol solvent will soften up the paint and the steel wool #3 is gentle enough not to scratch the tub. You can buy denatured alcohol solvent and steel wool #3 from a hardware store.

Have you tried paint thinner? Make sure you have good ventilation going before you try this. Also, I dont know if paint thinner will work on acrylic, its only a suggestion. :o)

Turpintine or, run warm water in the tub and it should peel of since it's water based paint.
