Paint speck removal tips?

[Brutus442]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a sure fire method for removing dried paint spec from boxes? Specifically the case (not speakers, or bezels etc.) I'm hesitant to use any cleanser on the case without knowing if it will destroy it...

The best way I have found is to use mild soap and water. Let it soak to soften paint specks. Then with your nail scrape off then rinse and wipe. Worked great for me on the Sanyo M X620 I just received

If the paint resembles a "mist" and not actually big specks, you might have good luck with Orange Glo. It worked wonders on my old Sanyo M-X720.

For the larger specks, I just use my trusty thumbnail.

That will get rid of everything including the kitchen sink

How about baking soda paste?

These are great suggestions gentlemen...thanks.

They are indeed just small paint specs and I've tried the fingernail approach with no luck. but I will try all suggestions in order

1. water/ soap soaking
2. Baking soda....I actually have some
3. Orange glo...I have to go out and by some
4. Ira's Fix-all the belt sander :jason: ....or should I move this to the top

Thanks so much guys...I'll let you know the results! :superduper:
