How do I remove spilled house paint from the floor of my trunk?

Carpet is involved.

I blotted up as much as I could tonight.

It was about 1/2 a gallon of Sherwin Williams Satin.

(Don't ask. It was a MESS!)

That help, but stores are probably closed now. I wouldn't wait until it dries because it will be more difficult to remove. If it's an acrylic based (interior) paint, then its water soluble. I'd get out there asap with water and whatever household cleaner you have.

if it's acrylic.
And a shop-vac.
One that vacs water.
It will take a loong time.
Don't let it dry(as said above).

If it's oil based, sorry.
New carpet.
