Removing Wet Paint Drips

• 1). Paint over the paint drip with a paint brush if the drip is still wet. Try to blend it in with the rest of the paint job.
  
  
• 2). Rub the paint drip in with a foam brush if it is not runny but has not yet hardened.
  
  
• 3). Add a little more paint where the paint drip was if any drywall is showing through the paint.
  
  

Removing Dry Paint Drips

• 1). Scrape up the paint drip with a putty knife. Start at the very bottom of the paint drip or run. Hold the putty knife at a 45-degree angle to the drip and scrape up the length of the drip until you have removed it from the wall.
  
  
• 2). Repaint the area on the drywall with a paint brush where you removed the paint drip.
  
  
• 3). Repeat steps 1 and 2 to remove any other paint drips.
