Angry Paint spilled on carpet and plastic

Hi guys,

I recently had a bad trip to the local dump where I got into the truck with white paint on the bottom of my boots - now that paint is on my carpet and the plastic by the footwell. Anybody have any ideas on how to remove it? It's driving me insane.

Thanks!

Try some cleaners on the plastic footwell and buy some new floormats to cover the rest.

Welcome ! Great use of . If it's water based paint, you may be lucky. Try putting a hot, wet, washrag over the plastic footwell and soak it for a while. Next, see if your fingernail will remove it. If it does, you may get lucky with a mild scotchbrite pad and alot of similar soakings. Go here for paint on carpet:
