What is an easy way to get paint off of skin?

Question

I was putting primer on my walls and did the "smartest" thing ever by accidentally stepping into it so now I have my foot covered in white primer and I need a way to get it off without scrubbing so hard I start to bleed. Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Vaseline should do the trick, and not harm your skin

Answer 2

Just be sure that if you do use anything flammable, you don't smoke in the room before you are finished and the fumes are thoroughly out of the room. No candles, either. No open flames.

Answer 3

If it's latex based, just soak it and rub it off. If you don't want to scrub, it'll come off eventuall on it's own fairly quickly. If it's oil based, well...paint thinner.

Answer 4

mineral spirits (available at the hardware store). in the future, try to use a water-based primer! lighter fluid also works.

Answer 5

just go sit your foot in the tub and let it soak...since it most likely is not cured all the way and latex based it will soften up and come right off...if using enamel based, have to ask why inside?

Answer 6

use White Spirts use an old rag or cotton wool to take it off then wash your skin straight away with soap , Then use some baby oil or lotion
