Just now as i was furiously painting all of the metal on my new orcs , but my headphones rapped around my bolt gun metal pot, which in turn caused said pot to have a high velocity impacte with the flore whilst covering me in a horrid shower of silver paint, so my question to you all today is will GW paint wash out of my jeans? thanks!

I beleive the paint does, though the Inks do not.

That is an incredible sequence of events I must say!

You will need hot water and lots of rug cleaner, stat!

Rough scrubbers and sponges will do the trick. Just rub vigorously; it's acryllic paint so it should come off easy.

Oh yea, Ive dumped whole pots of paint before. Once a red gore paint exploded onto the crotch of my pants, only to have my wife and her sister/mother walk inside right as I stood up to show off my............period as she called it



Lots of water and itll come right out. Its water based so just dump a cup full on the paint and then get to scrubbin

My best was a whole pot of Chaos Black on my mums light bue carpet (in the 90s so bigger pots too!).

Scrape of as much as possible and then get busy with a damp sponge.

Not too much water though as you want to soak it up and not dilute it further in.

If you're painting that furiously, you're liable to pull something. Or get offered to have pieces shown in an independent gallery for abstract artists.

Similar to notprop's story(in that it concerns carpet): My friend was painting whilst sitting on his floor(for some reason). His father walked by and told him to clean up the red he spilled. He did. Bout 15 minutes later, his father passed by again and asked why he hadn't cleaned up his paint yet. Questioning looks and a second clean up job. Bout 15 more minutes, his father passes by again and proceeds to become upset about the stain that he thinks is setting in. Several more questioning looks and a third cleanup job later, my friend realizes he has glass stuck in the bottom of his foot.

He'd thus spent the last hour bleeding onto the carpet unnoticed because he'd happened to be painting red onto his Mordians.

I've managed to dump 2 pots of badab black on my carpet. One at 4 in the morning (can still see the stain when the suns on it) and another time, (which is now hidden beneath my rug, and very diluted). Luckily mum still hasn't found out though.

It will come out - but you have to get to it while the paint is still wet for best results. Acrylic paints become waterproof when dry (artist acrylics however, don't.).

Several commercial stain removal products can get the paint out of carpet (but may also remove any dye from the carpet).

Few, it has all came out so my nice jeans are saved , and after all of your stories I have decided to stick at painting in the kitchen with a tiled floor!

Or....I have crazy glued my hands to my ass cheeks...how do I pull them apart?

Your ass cheeks or your hands?

I knew you wouldn't resist cracking that joke.

I've done well. I've been painting models for over 20 years, since I WAS 11, and never yet ruined clothing, carpets or furniture.

Then you are not doing it right!

Same here.

Oh sure, I've stabbed/cut myself lots, but never ruined anything as a result. I paint in old work clothing (so I don't care if it gets damaged - work paid for it).

As for the buttcheeks/crack lines. OT has sunk to new heights.

Leave it to Kingcracker to spill the red paint..

I have every single pair of pants I own containing a couple splats of paint on them. People say it matches, because I'm an artist.

Ive got a couple "nice" shirts that have super glue spots on them....right in the middle of the chest naturally. Totally sucks because that stuff does not wash out
