Accidentally got paint splatters on your metal outdoor table? Don’t worry—removing them is easier than you think. Follow these simple steps to restore your table’s clean finish.
1. Scrape Off Dried Paint: Use a plastic scraper or a credit card to gently lift dried paint splatters. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratching the surface.
2. Apply a Paint Remover: Choose a paint remover suitable for metal surfaces. Apply it to the affected area, let it sit for the recommended time, then wipe away the softened paint with a cloth.
3. Use Rubbing Alcohol or Acetone: For smaller stains, dampen a cloth with rubbing alcohol or acetone and gently rub the paint. Test on a hidden spot first to ensure no discoloration.
4. Scrub with Soapy Water: Mix warm water with mild dish soap. Use a soft brush or sponge to scrub the remaining residue, then rinse thoroughly.
5. Polish the Surface: After cleaning, dry the table and apply a metal polish to restore shine and protect against future stains.
By following these steps, your metal outdoor table will look as good as new! Regular maintenance will help keep it in top condition.
