Removing paint from my tile
So... I might have oversprayed when I painted some walls and onto new ceramic tile. Before I do something I regret, what's the best way to remove from the tile? Additional context: it's been a while since I painted. Months kinda while.

Dried latex paint can be softened and removed with denatured alcohol or products like 'goof off' or 'oops'
Depending on how much you have to remove, carefully scraping them off is often the best method.

Marq brings up a good point! While I have a good bit of spray equipment I rarely do any spraying inside of a finished or occupied house, the prep needed to contain the overspray negates any time saved.

Because I didn't know better! But seriously, in addition to that, I was painting paneling that has the grooves in it. I had done that by roller in another room, and I was hating it. I had to run a brush through the grooves when I just wanted to use a roller. Live and learn. Twice.

Next time use a roller cover with a thicker nap. That will get paint in the grooves and back rolling with the roller once it becomes semi dry will reduce the roller stipple.
