Some Spray Paint Got In Drain Bulkhead!

[Jayhawk88]

When we were spray painting the back of our tank black, we got a little bit of paint inside of the overflow drain bulkhead. What should we use to remove it? Or should we just leave it there?

I would just replace the bulkhead, but it is siliconed in. The name of the paint is Utilac High Gloss Metal & Wood Enamel. It's made by Benjamin Moore.

just let it dry completely should be fine...

Im with shroom, I dont think it will hurt anything after it is dry.

well if your reall worried about it i guess you could use some type of thinner and strip it off... which id be more worried about than just leaving it even after washing the hell out of it.... you could also use a razor blade/ sandpaper..... if it were me id leave it after it was completely dry.... but if you want i guess you can sand it off, id recomend against a thinner because it can possibly soak into the plastic and be hard to wash out.......

wait for it to dry and use a brand new razor blade to shave it off, then dispose of it.
