Please Help! by PIAGET(op): 8:32am On Feb 25, 2024
Please how do I wash off this paint bucket? I've soaked it over nights with the hope the paints will dissolve and wash off easily but it's not. Is there any special something or way I can easily wash off the paints? Thank you!

What did you soak it with? You need to get the right solvent for the paint type on the bucket. undecided

Rub Kerosene on the surface and scrape with a knife or softly with a metal sponge.

Hot water and detergent.

How much is the plastic that you are stressing yourself or you want to use kerosene that is even more expensive than that plastic

Pour a lot of water in it and leave it for 3 days.

It's a Text Coat Paint from the look.

The best time to wash it off with ease is immediately after emptying the paint from the bucket.

Anything after that period na DIEgrin

You know how much is acetone and methanol now?

Op he's suggesting you use acetone Nail polish remover but how much nail polish remover wan reach you?

Better use the bucket like that because even that kerosene may not work as water has touched the paint. If you have money go and buy nail polish remover

Acetone is very expensive here though she can get methanol a bit cheap though it's been long I went to ojota so I don't know if it's still very cheap like before.

When I saw the title, I thought it was an emergency. Just put hot water inside overnight, then use iron sponge to scrub the paint off.
