How do you get paint off of vinyl siding????

I have tried a pressure washer and it dont work.


Any ideas???????How do you get paint off of vinyl siding????
It will cost you a lot of money and you will not see any good results, the best idea is pressure wash the vinyl and paint it with a good exterior paint, I did that and looks fantastic, good luck.How do you get paint off of vinyl siding????
Paint thinner
sand blasting
I work with vinyl siding for a living. If you don't do this like I say, you will MELT the siding. ';Xylol'; is a thinner which, when applied, attacks vinyl siding. If you are trying to remove a preexisting paint job, this is not for you. If you are trying to remove minor spills, splashes, drips ect., this may be for you.


First, try to remove as much paint manually as possible.


Second, apply the thinner to a soft cloth. let most evaporate from the cloth. Wipe quickly and in one direction with the cloth. Keep in mind, if you put the liquid on your siding, there's a good chance it will melt. And because you have started dissolving the siding,.the paint you are trying to remove may actually BLEND into it


good luck ps. sometimes it's a good idea to wash the siding first as any oils , carbon , ect. can also contaminate.
Paint and vinyl are pretty similar these days so your best bet is to either paint over it or use a razor blade to peel it off.
I believe Goof Off would be your best bet.


It's in just about any paint department.
I'd try acatone. it should be avabile at any local hardware store. its a very flammable chemical, and evaporates very fast. but should do the trick, it depends on what type of paint got on your siding.
Is the trailer looking gungy?
try goof off
