How To Get Paint Off Of A Cement Floor That Has A Stain Finish
My painter got oil based paint on my customers cement floor that has a stain finish on the floor. The stain finish is coming off from us trying to remove the paint. Any thoughts or ideas on how to remove this without further damaging the stained concrete would be greatly appriecated.

Re: How To Get Paint Off Of A Cement Floor That Has A Stain Finish
What type of paint was spilled, oil or latex?
How long has it been there? What type of stain is on the concrete? |

Re: How To Get Paint Off Of A Cement Floor That Has A Stain Finish
That is a problem. I would try a q-tip dipped in either mineral spirits/paint thinner, or maybe lacquer thinner if it acts stubborn. Then be prepared to match the stain and apply a coat to those areas.

Re: How To Get Paint Off Of A Cement Floor That Has A Stain Finish
You could also try a small wire brush if it has hardened up, but again, be prepared to match the stain...Try just scrubbing the spot and nothing else...it may pop right off if you're lucky. Is the concrete smooth?

Re: How To Get Paint Off Of A Cement Floor That Has A Stain Finish
I wonder if heat might work? If the old surface is cured well and the new isnt, they may separate nicely, especially if the old surface is smooth. Note: havn't actually tried this myself in this exact same situation so just a thought.

Try a straigt edge razor blade get off much as you can, then maybe a Q-tip with goof off and clean rag. Hope it's not a large area.
