Default Paint in the bathtub

How do I remove paint drips from a fiberglass tub without scratching it up ? I just noticed it today and I'd like to get it off but I don't want ot ruin the tub.

I have never had that problem but maybe you could try some turpentine or something similar that you use? That is if you do not plan to sit in the tub after, I doubt I would use it unless its a shower only tub. Then again you might be able to find something else that is a little less harsh.

I actually have this problem too. The previous owner of my house was an artist and apparently she wasn't very concerned about getting her paint everywhere. One of my bathrooms has paint splattered all over both sinks and the tub/shower. So far we haven't been able to get it off, but if I come up with anything I'll let you know.

I'm not sure what you could use that wouldn't damage the tub finish. I guess you could always try scrapping it off and then refinishing the tub. Turpentine may take the paint and finish off the tub.
