Answers:
try to buy something called OOPS - you can get it at paint stores.
Go get paint thinner and a brush.you may be able to rub some of it out with the thinner on a rag.But if its thick it will need brushing.After its removed I suggest srubbing with carpet foam to prevent it from staining when it drys.
Head to a paint store and ask for a suggestion. Don't go to Lowes or Home Depot - go to an actual paint store. That's your best bet.
Oil Paint on Carpet
Before employing any chemicals for cleaning carpet stains caused by oil paint, first test in a hidden area such as inside a closet or under a piece of furniture. The last thing you want to do is incur further damage. To remove carpet stains such as these, first try a little paint thinner. Dab as gently as possible until all of the paint is removed. If this doesn't work or no paint thinner is available, try using some dry cleaning solvent. If the paint hasn't penetrated deep into the carpet fibers and it won't be noticebale, snip a little bit off the top of the carpet. If none of these will work, contact your carpet care professional. Good Luck! =)
Go to Wal-Mart and rent their wet vac. I had something similar spill and used it and it comes right off. The wet vac helps loosen the harden substance and then cleans it off the carpet.
I hope that works.
Acrylic paint is permanent and can be removed with a paint remover designed to remove latex paint (products such as Goof-off). An alcohol, ammonia and water solution may remove small amounts of paint from tools and brushes. Commercial brush cleaners are also available. Hot soapy water will help remove paint from non-porous surfaces such as glass and plastic. However, with carpet, I have used "Goof-off" and it worked just great. It is a "Valspar" product and is available from a local Lowes store.
