How do you remove paint from your body?

I was painting my gate with this paint for metal and it won't wash off with soap and water it just smears so now i have a blue chest and hands and speckles all over. The worst part was i thought it would be much nicer to use a paint glove and it went all the way through the glove i'm really covered!How do you remove paint from your body?
Use a little paint thinner and make sure you wash with soap%26amp; water after. Lots of lotion afterHow do you remove paint from your body?
Don't bother. I painted myself white, now I am a happier person.
hot water
depends on the type of paint ... usually Lava hand soap and hot water will work, and they sell concentrated hand cleaners like Fast Orange that may do the trick.
Odorless mineral spirits are usually good for removing paint.





Does the can of paint have any instructions for cleanup?
turpentine, or mineral spirits, its a couple of bucks at the hardware store. It will take it right off without scrubbing to hard.
Mineral spirits, acetone (fingernail polish remover) or laquer thinner.


Be careful, they will be absorbed thru the skin.
Try nail polish remover.
first try to check the label of the paint if its water based or oil based, but since it didnt come off with water, it must be oil based. try using paint thinner, but dont pour it to your self try using a cotton ball...after that wash the smell away with soap and water, it worked for me :)
Mineral spirits, paint thinner, or even Avon's skin so soft.
hot water and dawn soap with bleach in it
If you go to a big store like wal-mart or target or something like that there is this rectangular rock thing and when you get in the shower/bath you just start scrubbing away and it comes off and they are only like $2 I think and that is how you get paint off. oh and if it is not at one of those places go to a paint store they might have it.
White sprit will remove it , it smells horrid so just make sure u wash ur self after to get rid of the smell.
Read the label on the paint can. They usually have clean-up instructions on them. Soap and water really only works for latex or water-based paint. If you are using an oil-based paint, try using mineral spirits to clean up. It is cheap, and you can get it at the hardware store or Wal-mart. Paint thinner is a tougher paint cleaner, but I would only use that on your palms. It will burn more sensitive areas like your chest or even the back side of your hands. My father was a painter. When I was six-years-old I sat in a bowl of paint thinner while my Dad was cleaning brushes. That was over 25 years ago, and I still remember how bad it stung!
hot water and soap usually does it. if not the soap go joe (the stuff that feels like it has sand in it) takes everything off. mechanics use it a lot to get grease off. best wishes!
Soap and water should do it


Hot water and tons of soap..
