Though most people suggest using rubbing alcohol to remove acrylic paint from rubber, a less-messy way would be to use a GUM ERASER (like this: michaels.com[slash]generals-gum-eraser[slash]10802793.html). It works very quickly and easily, and all you have to do is pick off balled up pieces of rubber from the eraser, so that you have a clean edge to work with to continue with the paint removal.
Mineral Spirits! I was just looking for an answer to the same question! When I didn't find one, I tried this and it worked like a charm. Acetone wasn't any help at all.
apply pine solution to site and scrub for an hour non stop
If you can't scrape it off or it doesn't just peel off, you'll need a stripper that does not harm the underlying surface. PPG's Duraprep line has a couple that will work well.
Yes, it can for most rubber paints. Xylene works for some also.
Use this stuff called Goo Gone
I'll know after I try it!! Might be cheaper to purchase a new bottle of rubber cement!
Cement can wick moisture from outside that will cause your paint to peel off. Look for a primer that will seal it first, then paint it.
Yes you can. Substitute 20% of the water for the cement mix with latex paint (Water based paint) and mix slow and thorough. Don't over used too much paint it will damage the integrity of the concrete.
Most rubber cement does wash off with soap and water. However, I always have an excellent 'remover' next to my sink and unhesitatingly recommend 'Whitlam's Glue Wash' hand soap. This will remove all glues that I use, - rubber, super glue, pvc glue, ABS glue and many others. -It's available at all good plumbing suppliers.
Swimming pool paint companies do not recomment mixing paint types rubber goes back on rubber or epoxy back on epoxy So if you want epoxy, sandblast off the rubber. BTW Silica sand is very toxic and best left to the pros, the paint ain't much to help out the health either. Take special care when painting, Kelly Tech is a good paint source good swimming getapool.com

Paint remover. It may not be necessary to remove the paint as long as it is in decent shape, non flaking or peeling.
No, rubber cement is not safe to put on your skin, it may seem fine at first, but within a few minutes it burns and if not washed off, burns worse. The enzymes in the cement eat at your skin and can leave scars. I know from personal experience.
The best way to do this is to get some pure acetone (can find at a beauty salon), q-tips, and a little ice. Dip the q-tip in the acetone then rub off the rubber cement. Apply ice to help with the burning afterwards. Be sure you are not allergic to acetone.
Wire brushes are typically abrasive in nature. As such, they are mainly used when removing paint or cleaning rust off an object. It can also clean surfaces to make a better conductive area.
No, the paint must be removed with a sander. Paint fills in the pores of the cement and the thinsets cannot bond to the substrate Using paint strippers only take off the top layer, you will need to rent a sander rated for cement.
Yes, -temporarily, as you say, it will come off within days.

You want to use what's called rubber cement. I know that the name sounds ridiculous but go to any costume store [or art supply store] and ask for it. It comes off real easy and leaves no residue. If you have ever been to Kings Dominion during Halloween, they have these Ninja stars that they put on you and paint it so it looks real. They use rubber cement to attach those.
