Removing paintball
paint from brick homes can be an easy process if you know what ingredients to
use. First, wash the area with a soap and water solution (liquid dish detergent
will work well). Use your garden hose on a high power stream to break up as
much of the stain as possible. Then, use hydrogen peroxide to further work the
stain. Paintballs are made from oil-based paint, which breaks up easily when in
contact with hydrogen peroxide. Dab a cloth or a few cotton balls in the peroxide
and rub over the paintball stain until all the paint has been removed. Rinse
again with the garden hose to remove any excess paint or peroxide residue.

To remove paintball
paint from a car exterior, first wash the car like you normally would. Use a
mild car-washing detergent, warm water and a sponge or cloth. Then dry the area
with a towel. Use a bug-and-tar-removing product by dabbing a few drops onto a
cloth or paper towel, then rubbing over the paintball stain. Repeat as necessary
until the paintball paint has been removed, then rinse the area to remove any
additional paintball paint or cleaning-product residue.
Attach a spray
nozzle gun to a garden hose and turn the hose on. Spray the area where the
paintball hit the wall. Rinse as much of the paint off as possible.
Mix 1 tsp. of mild
detergent into a mop bucket full of warm water. Dip a nonabrasive scrub pad or
sponge into the water and mix the soap in until bubbles form.
Wash the area where
the paintball hit the wall until the remainder of the paint is gone. Scrub in
circular, up and down and side-to-side motions to get it all off. Rinse the
detergent off the siding with the spray hose until soap bubbles disperse.
Soak the area with
the garden hose.
Spray on the
all-purpose stain remover and allow it to set on the surface for as long as the
directions on the label recommend.
Scrub the area with
the nonabrasive scrub pad until all paint loosens.
Rinse off the paint
and stain remover and then wash the area with the soapy water. Rinse clean with
the garden hose.
