i don't know what kind of paint it was. Unfortunately i do not have a pressure washer. I scrubbed it and dumped a lot of paint thinner on it. I will be going to my parents house tomorrow and my dad has a pressure washer so i will hit it real good with that tomorrow

Ouch, if I had a bed rug, I would have bagged up each paint can. My ocd would be like damn your going to end up spilling paint.

it was in a plastic bag with insulation and some sheet rock. Well the sheet rock poked a hole in the bag. I'm real lucky because when i rolled the bag over there was a puddle of paint in the bag. There could have been a lot more on the bed rug.

Maybe you could try to remove as much as possible, without damaging it anymore.

And use a fabric dye in an are-sol can. It would look much nicer then.

i will see what it looks like after i hit it with the pressure washer tomorrow....It doesn't look too bad right now. After the pressure washer i have some real strong cleaner I can use, but that is more a last resort....LOL

Better the bed rug than on the bed itself.

I'm thinking it will come out since the bedrug is pretty resistant to things that would normally ruin surfaces. Even if it doesn't immediately come out, I bet it will wear off.

Lol yeah that is true. I even read that it's resistant to bleach. I didn't know that before.
