How do I get spray paint off of my balcony?

My nephew got red spray paint (bought from Michael's) on the ground/concrete and the side of the wall paneling of my apartment balcony. I tried bleach, nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol so far. Please help...How do I get spray paint off of my balcony?
Paint thinner will work. Pour paint thinner on the concrete and let it sit and then use a hose to rinse it off.How do I get spray paint off of my balcony?
new concrete. its not comming off
neither of the things you tried will remove it. I would suggest that you just tell the landlord and have them deal with it. If you remove paint from ';paneling'; you might ruin it for the landlord and it would be a real mess and he may charge you to have it replaced. This way if you tell the landlord then they may just charge your ';deposit'; for the cleaner.
Hello, a good paint remover may be Turpentine, you may find some at your local home depot
Goff off, think I spelled it right go to Home Depot they have a spray that will take that out.
try sanding it off or paint over it with color to match the background
paint remover/paint thinner take a steel bristle scrubber and scrub
I would try a Mr. Clean magic sponge with some elbow grease on the paneling, and paint thinner and a wire brush on the concrete. Good luck!
Try some paint thinner....:)
try lacquer thinner
paint thinner, followed by soap and water? Call Home Depot
Paint thinner


Apply paint thinner to the affected area,let it sit for recommended time(see paint thinner directions)


Rinse and repeat,,always repeat.


PS Test paint thinner on inconspicuous area to test whether or not it will damage the surface,VERY IMPORTANT!!!! that you do this FIRST.
Try paint thinner or remover.
Hi, dont panic. Ok, firstly are the surfaces covered smooth? indented? Rough? Lipped itc. Secondly, look at the spray can information. It may tell you weather or not its oil based or water based. If it doesnt look for key words like acrylic - quick drying - wash with water etc. If thats the case Hot soapy water, a scourer - toothbrush - cloth - cotton bud depending on the surface will do it.


For oil it will say flammable etc...you need a bottle of white spirits and a fairly clean DRY cloth. Put about a capful on to the cloth ';may want to use waterproof gloves. sensitive skin??'; Once the spirits are on the cloth - get rubbing as quick as you can as they will dry up (evaporate). You need to also judge how thick the paint is on. You may need to give it maybe 8 hours from the time it happened and sand it down. If it is flat to the surface, rub with spirits. If thicker, scrape or sand. (use a fine sandpaper as not to scratch the surface). If on the floor - concrete. let it dry and use a wire brush and or a coarse sandpaper.


Keep kids and pets away from the area. White spirits can be dangerous if in the wrong hands





Best of luck
