DaveT Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If you scratch at the latex with a finger nail, does it come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee2 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Rubbing alcohol is sometimes used to remove unwanted latex paint from surfaces. Not sure how practical it will be for an entire car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferp420 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 try a hair dryer it should peal off with a little heat the pressure washer might remove or chip the factory paint around the edges but would remove the laytex fast and if your gona paint it anyway you got nothing to loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superpoo93 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Try hot water and soapy water first. If it's super thick, use mineral spirits. The mineral spirits should not hurt the orig paint, I would try a small area first and see how it works, before getting crazy with it. Maybe ask a paint store if it be ok to use as well.
