    Any Latex Gurus?

    Ha! Gotcha! You were thinkin' something besides paint! ... weren't you?!

    Here's the problem I have. Got the wife a new leaded glass front door for the house. After she decided on a color (about 2 months) I primed it with latex gripper primer with one of those small foam rollers. Let it dry. Painted it (small foam roller).Let it dry. Wife didn't like the orange-peal. I sand it down. Reprime, dry, repaint with crapola Wagner Power Painter. Looked worse than foam roller. Sanded it down. Decided to bite the bullet and break-out the compressor and REAL laquer paint guns. Thin the latex with Floetrol and H2O. Dark green exterior paint looks beautiful smooth! Let it dry. Turn it over and shoot the inside white like all the millwork. Let it dry. Hang it and find a real fine white overspray on the green that float under and up onto the other side. Don't want to use isopropyl or Goof-Off because don't want to remove sheen or FUBAR the baby-arse smooth finish. Anybody know how I might get this chit off without having to take the entire thing off and repaint it yet once again?

    It's that the stuff the doctor puts on his hands just before he bends you over to GO DEEP? I know it makes that snapping sound when they pull it tight.

    Oh the airport folks use it too for full cavity searches..

    Claybar and orange Goop hand cleaner did the trick! Zaino after and it looks as nice as the truck! Cool!
