I would try GooGone, it is orange based and won't hurt the floor. Good luck!
AnswerI just painted my house and made a mess on the vinyl floor. I tried numerous things and cobinations but found Murphys Oil Soap to the best. It was easy on the skin and lungs to!
Simple rubbing alcohol will remove the paint and not harm the tile.
use wd40 and with a fine window scrapper scrap off. If you scratch the tile use a hair dryer over it this heats the tile and it remolds its self.
Rubbing alcohol will soften and remove the paint.
The optimal thing is wipe up any spills or drips immediately and clean the area with dish soap and water before the paint has a chance to dry. On dry paint your results may differ based on the length of time the paint has been on your floor, and of course, the amount. The type of finish on your hardwood floor also factors in. You should get the best results with a product called "Goof-Off". Follow the directions on the container. Finish with a good quality wood floor cleaner. We use "MinWax Wood Floor Cleaner" available at most hardware stores.
Three is a product called Super Clean. It is actually an automobile degreaser. I use it on grease stains on clothes...presoak then put in wash machine. I use it on tough soap build up in showers...soak stall walls, use a scrunge to scrub, then rinse (fumes are very strong, so ventilate area). I also use it to remove paint...presoak area, use scrunge and sponge, then rinse and wipe again. I use it full strength for all of these uses. Good luck, and please let me know how it did for you. Oh, you can buy Super Clean at auto part stores and Walmart.

turpentine if its water based, if its not water based your out of luck.
Try to use some organic solution like gasoline to wipe paint off laminate flooring.
Latex paint, when it dries, may be able to be peeled off provided it hasn't been baked into the fiber.
Latex paint bodysuits are designed to be washed off easy. It is suggested that an undergarment is worn.
Latex.
I'm taking a guess that it is Latex Paint. The best and fastest way would be to use a Paint Scraper. Stripper would work but it would take the Final Finish off of your floor. If it is a large area, you could use a Heat Gun...carefully as that also would take the Clear protecting coat off of the floor. I would go with the paint scraper. Not a Putty Knife, a Paint Scraper.
scrape off the lacquer paint first. by means of sand paper #100-140 before applying the latex paint
You can not put oil paint over latex paint. Oil is a rigid coating and latex is a flexible coating. When you put a rigid coating over something that is flexible the rigid coating cracks off.
yes but you cannot put latex on top of oil based surfaces You actually are NOT advised to put oil over latex surfaces, which is why you're supposed to prime will an oil-based (alkyd) primer. Latex and Polyurethane should always have a layer of oil-base beneath it.
If it is vinyl tile and it's latex paint, rubbing alcohol will remove it. If it is a ceramic or porcelain tile, you can carefully scrape it off or if it is also latex paint, the same thing,,,alcohol will remove it.
The walls weren't sanded first and it's probably oil paint underneath. Latex can't go over oil paint.
Not directly. You will need to use a primer made to adhere to oil and will accept a latex topcoat.
Acetone is usually used to test if a paint is alkyd or latex, though rubbing alcohol will work as well. Use a Q-tip soaked in either acetone or rubbing alcohol on a surface painted by the paint. If it comes off, it's latex.
If you are going to paint you should first find out what kind of paint was origanlly used on the chairs. Latex paint over oil based paint has been known to peel and come off. I think latex is the better choice because it does not yellow or fade over time. This website outlines the pros and cons of latex and oil paints: http://www.hgtv.com/decorating/painting-101-oil-or-latex/index.html You should use exterior latex paint on your adirondack chairs. Exterior latex will allow outside moisture to evaporate, which will prevent blistering/peeling of the paint.
