What can I do if my neighbor painted their side of a shared fence and it dripped onto my side over the top?

We just shared in the cost of a brand new fence with the neighbor, and they painted their side today, which is fine, except it dripped onto our side which makes the fence look terrible. We went over to stop them from doing it, but we only got them to stop on half the fence. They did nothing to let us know they were painting it and it might drip. They did nothing to remedy the problem. We put paint stripper on the fence and it just smeared the paint into the wood which made it worse! What can I do? Do I have any legal rights? Is it graffiti? Help please! Thank you!What can I do if my neighbor painted their side of a shared fence and it dripped onto my side over the top?
If you like the color than ask them if they had any paint left over to match the color or paint your side.


If you don't...knock on their door again, calmly ask what they plan to do to fix the issue.


Good Luck! :)What can I do if my neighbor painted their side of a shared fence and it dripped onto my side over the top?
The fence belongs to someone. I do not see how it would be considered a 'shared' fence. You could contact your city/county surveyor and have them decide whose the fence belongs to. This is a civil matter. Before you would take it to small claims court, you would need to prove to the judge whose the fence belongs to.
If you just shared the cost of a new fence with your neighbor, wouldn't it be worth painting your side too? I think it would be worth it to keep things peaceful.
Ask what color of paint they are using and paint your side. It is the easiest of all solutions. Your side of the fence will look as nice as their side.*
Forget about it, You better get along with your neighbor in case you need someone to cover your *** in time of trouble.
I would paint my side as well and drop it. Its not worth a feud.
Did it drip on the ground, the grass or concrete? Grass will be simple to fix, just let it grow and cut it. Concrete will be more costly.





What if you paint your side of the fence a different color and it drips on their side?





Property line fences are a cat and dog fight, sometimes. You really need to contact a lawyer regarding this issue. And, I'm not sure what your issue is as I'm not sure what you want?





A matter of paint splatters is something I wouldn't call graffiti. Would a judge call it that? I don't know? Would Judge Judy? She'd certainly run her mouth about it and then probably shut up.





Bottom line is do you have damages? Are they enough to ask for repayment? And, are they enough to make a bad neighbor.





Personally, if it's on the grass, I'd just paint my side of the fence whatever color I decided. If it bleeded over, you'd have every right to say the same thing happened when they painted.

House painter from hell left paint mist on my bike and a couple drips on the leather seat .Ideas?

The paint is not directly noticable because it is similar in color. But I can feel the roughness on the tank etc. And there are a few small drips on the leather seat that are very noticable. Aside from my seething anger and what I'd like to do to the guy, I'd just like to get the paint off if I can.House painter from hell left paint mist on my bike and a couple drips on the leather seat .Ideas?
Be careful...whatever you use may mar the original finish. Paint and metal are not made for each other so conversion coatings are used between them. While durable, a solvent may remove the clear coat or dull it so the result may be worse than the roughness you now feel.House painter from hell left paint mist on my bike and a couple drips on the leather seat .Ideas?
The best way to remove is car stuff. You can try reg car wax - it may remove the paint (esp latex) and it will make protective finish if you buff it with a clean cotton cloth (old undershirt is great). If reg wax doesn't cut it use car ';polishing'; or ';rubbing'; compound to remove paint, then wax.

Report Abuse



Rubbing compound will help on the tank. Need further info on type of paint to address leather problem!
Goo-Gone. You can get it from your local hardware store
This happened to a friend of mine...white house paint on her brand new black firebird...she made the painters pay to have her car repainted. They tried removing the house paint first but it dulled the finish on the car.

A famous painting of two girl fairies kissing in a forest with blood dripping from their mouths. know artist?

Hi. I saw this painting in an art store so I assume its a pretty famous piece of art. In the background there was a rainforest setting.. mostly green. I remember the two fairies were greenish as well. If you're familiar with this painting or are an art buff and think you know.. can you please help me out. I think this would be a great b-day present for one of my friends.





I remember seeing other fairy paintings from this same artist. They are not cartoonish.. pretty realistic. Not sure what category this falls under.





In any case, I've searched the internet for hours and have had no luck with this. If you've seen this painting before or know the artist or title of the painting, I would greatly appreciate your help.





Sorry for being so vague.. and thanks in advance. (hopefully)

Maxfield Parrish has a series of paintings of ladies and knights, fairies, forrest sceens and other beautiful paintings. Go to Art.com and go through them all. Ecstasy is absolutely gorgeous, I know it's not the theme you're looking for but take a minute to check it out. Hope you find what you want. Let me know, I'd love to see what you find.
never know that there's such a painting..


try www.ask.com
My guess is that you had a dream and you do not remember that. Is it a case of amnesia?


If you are a painter, why not try doing one yourself. Good Luck, mate
Have you tried art.com? I did a search with your criteria and there are lots of pages of fairy art. I don't have time to search them all, but if anyone has this, it'll be this site. Link is below...

  • How to clean an oil painting that something has dripped on?

    The painting was done by my dad who died in 1992. I am not sure what the substance soiling the painting is, or when it occured, but probably either during a move across state OR when it sat in storage. If the latter is true, it could possibly have been soiled by a cat (either throwing up, or urinating....it has no smell, though.) Or in either case, something could have simply spilled, causing several dribbles of dried yellowish tinted streaks, and one lightened area about the size of a quarter. The painting is mostly rose colors, so the dribbles do not appear to have been from spilled oil paints.





    From a distance, this is something that is not noticed, but once you walk up to the painting, it is clearly seen.





    Is there a safe way for me to do this myself? If not, what kind of price range would I be looking at to have it done professionally? I do have an artsy friend who paints....perhaps I could trust it with her care?How to clean an oil painting that something has dripped on?
    Use a soft scrub brush and warm water, water won't hurt the oil but just might clean up the mess. and let dry.

    Strange yellow drips on painted walls.?

    Over the past few years, I have found a number of oily, yellowish drips in all areas of our home. The drips are always on paint. They appear on external and internal walls. The drip can start from behind items or anywhere on the wall. They are high, low and anywhere in between. They range from 6'; to 12';. They never appear in the same area twice and clean up easily. Any ideas?Strange yellow drips on painted walls.?
    The material would need to either have an internal source (i.e. behind the wall) or else an external one. It seems it's more likely to have an external source. So I would guess that unless the substance is dripping down onto the wall that it may just be condensation. But you said it's oily. Hmmm, hard to say without more information. Whatever it is I don't see any reason to assume it's paranormal in nature.Strange yellow drips on painted walls.?
    The person who has painted used an oil base paint, Your in winter time, house is warm , so it's sweating. Old house?
    The answer is,mildew or mold.Clean walls with bleach.Get as much fresh air circulation and sunlight as possible.You may need to consult an expert.Check out mold removal
    mold... lol I had the same problem in my house when I first moved in. We have poor ventilation and it's just how you've described it. It's in bathroom and on the doors near bathrooms. Just clean it up like I did, and then paint over it. They have paint that keeps mold from coming back through paint. Home Depot.
    I'm not a chemist and probably know less than you do about these things..but I noticed one thing you said...that it's always on the painted part and is oily. Is it an oil based paint? Or, maybe someone cleaned the walls with something that is oil based. Then, maybe the moisture came and was ';repelled'; by the oil. This probably goes against scientific things..just a guess. I'm thinking of those statues that seem to cry etc...and wondering if the same thing might be happening with them..or some of them. Of course..with the statues...even if there's a scientific reason for them ';crying';etc..God could use that for His own purposes. As it's said..';God works in mysterious ways.'; But, I don't think what's happening in your house is a sign of anything more than moisture against oil based paint.
    I've seen something similar in my brother's house.


    So here's what we found there...


    My brother smokes in his home and the nicotine and tar from the cigarette smoke along with the humidity in the home creates a yellowish oily substance on painted walls that resembles drips.
    my guess would be something in the paint that was used, perhaps in combination with condensation.


    Without being there its hard to tell. Could condensation from pipes be dripping down on the paint?
    It sounds like condensation.
    It doesn't sound to be anything paranormal. Sounds like it could be some kind of condensation. Good luck though! And at least they are easy to clean up and they aren't BLOOD!! Yikes!!
    we get the same problem on our celling when a lot of moister from rain or steam from the shower. is it coming from like no where or does it come from cracks?

    Painting Stencils Without bleeding/dripping?

    We are painting a room in our house with a stencil. But when we tape the stencil on the wall, the paint drips and bleeds so that when we lift the stencil, it looks horrible. We've used an oil based paint and acrylic.





    How do you get the paint not to bleed?Painting Stencils Without bleeding/dripping?
    I love to stencil is what i do is i take spray adhesive and LIGHTLY spray it on the back of the stencil then i paint over it and once the paint drys if you put 2 much adhesive on it you can wipe it off. Also if you are using a thin paper stencil you can redo the stencil on a thicker material like cardboard or wood. But if you are use a paint brush to paint it on dab on it with little amounts of paint this and the adhesive will prevent dripping. But if you are spray painting it on use lighter coats and you must watch over spray to prevent over spray just place news paper around the stencil this takes longer but makes it look alot better. u can see this in my ID pic.Painting Stencils Without bleeding/dripping?
    You can make your stencil out of draftsman's frisket film. . . . it looks like clear contact paper, but is just tacky enough to adhere without marring the surface! (Get it at an art or drafting store.)





    Also, stenciling requires a dry brush application or the use of light layers. A stencil brush is cut so the painting surface is flat and stiff and you don't apply the paint in strokes, but rather you tap it on. That prevents pressure from shoving paint under your stencil.
    well if you dont use a lot of paint on the first coat and then let that dry (and do the same thing for the rest of the coats) also when you tape the stencil up-tape the coners first and then once its up and you like it there,tape all the way across each side nice and tight so if it can drip and run on the walls

    The shame is he threw away most of his painting.He took only a small portion of a much larger canvas. It would be interesting to find if it ended up in a landfill somewhere.How much is the cheapest REAL dripping pollock's painting?
