Removing fence paint from painted rendered wall
Discussion
Oops!
Spent a couple of days doing all the fences in our garden using Ronseal spray/paint stuff (what a crappy job) - was very careful about the ones near other houses, but just noticed some great big gobs on next door's off white rendered house
I have no idea how it happened, I was very careful, and the house is a good 8 feet from the fence. I can't understand how such huge gobs went so far when I was being so careful.
Anyway, in the interests of neighbourly relations I shall be popping round after lunch offering to make good. Initial thoughts are white spirit & a cloth (which I doubt will do much good as the fence stuff will have soaked in), followed by a screwdriver/wire brush to chip down to good paint, followed by the desperate measure of applying new paint. I have a few off whites from when we were doing our kitchen so hopefully will find something to match if they don't have any of the paint in the garage or anything helpful like that, but I am worried about making it look worse...
Any other suggestions? We get on well with the neighbours but I heard them exclaiming from over the fence yesterday which is what alerted me to the problem...
