Flasch186 · 06-12-2005, 09:30 PM

...all over the carpet. it is blue latex paint and we've been hitting it with hot water and a steam cleaner for about an hour now and it's still there; baby blue. any suggestions at this point?!

Shag carpet on the walls, and a lamp and Ottoman hanging from the ceiling.

Joe · 06-12-2005, 09:37 PM

If there's liquid and latex on the floor involving your girlfriend and roomate, chances are its not paint.

Ksyrup · 06-12-2005, 09:42 PM

Congratulations, it's a boy!

Easy Mac · 06-12-2005, 09:42 PM

or a smurf.

Get new carpet.

Flasch186 · 06-12-2005, 09:51 PM

is there any way to get it out? Any secret some of you might know of?

Ksyrup · 06-12-2005, 09:54 PM

I can barely get dog throw up out of my carpet. Blue paint? Good freakin luck.

damnMikeBrown · 06-12-2005, 09:54 PM

Sounds like you just ate the damage deposit.

Easy Mac · 06-12-2005, 09:54 PM

club soda and the spit of a mother.

CraigSca · 06-12-2005, 09:56 PM

The problem is the 3R. Put some 10W-40 on it and see if you can get rid of the 3R.

Joe · 06-12-2005, 09:57 PM

the only solution i can think of involves a flux capacitor, plutonium, and a DeLorean.

Fonzie · 06-12-2005, 10:01 PM

What color was the carpet originally? Get some paint of that color and you're good to go.

Glengoyne · 06-12-2005, 10:08 PM

An exacto knife and some new carpet. It's the only way to be sure.

DaddyTorgo · 06-12-2005, 10:10 PM

yep. slice out the affected carpet and plop in a new piece of the same kind. should do the trick. especially if you super-glue it onto the other pieces so it doesn't come out, and then "weather" it well.

stevew · 06-12-2005, 10:31 PM

I had moderate success with Oxyclean once. It got my carpets pretty clean. Its worth a shot at least. I would go get the good steam cleaner from lowes tho.

cubboyroy1826 · 06-12-2005, 10:35 PM

I have used Shout with some pretty good success.

cwilloughby · 06-12-2005, 10:38 PM

I had a similar situation happen at a friends house once. My friend was grabing a can of paint out of a finished room in the house they were remodeling. We were standing there bullshitting and he started shaking the can. One good shake, and the lid flew right off!

We had a nice puddle of white paint on dark grey carpet. We kept it wet with water and ran the carpet cleaner for a few hours. Got it all out though.

Greyroofoo · 06-12-2005, 10:44 PM

Paint the rest of the carpet blue

Suicane75 · 06-12-2005, 10:45 PM

U, GF N 3R R F'D.

MizzouRah · 06-12-2005, 11:11 PM
