# How to Remove Latex Paint From Wall Plaster
Latex paint is a commonly-used interior paint for drywall and plaster walls. While some homeowners would elect to simply paint over it to change the look of the room, you may want to remove the paint to get to the original wall surface for restoration. Plaster can be sensitive to solvents, so removing latex paint with the weakest solvent is the best option. Regular rubbing alcohol will do the job.
Things You'll Need
- Clean rag
- Rubbing alcohol
