    Default Need help from mustachiod members

    Hi, Ive been growing a bit of facial hair for movember and started painting my sons room today.
    Now I think you can see where this is going.
    So my question is how do I get paint out of my 'stache? I'm not silly enough to try turpentine but dove anyone have any less caustic ideas?

    If it's typical water based paint soap and water should do the trick. If it's oil based paint you're in trouble. Then only lacquer thinners will do it short of lopping it off.

    When it gets in my hair I wear a hat, never stays more than a few days but you get into trouble wearing a bandana over your face and walking into a bank.
    Guess Ill just scrub and scrub and scrub. Well not today, I still have to paint tomorrow and probably the next day (I am not a fast painter)

    Scrub a dub dub with a wash cloth and soap should get rid of it pretty quickly.

    When I was a pro carpet installer we carried WD-40 to get glue off of carpet (on glue downs), works on chewing gum in carpet too. I'm not suggesting you spray your stache with wd40, but try something slick, shampoo, even dish soap. Take a bit of Vaseline and put it on your mustache before you paint again. The paint shouldn't stick to that.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
