What happens if you rub denatured alcohol on a painted surface and the paint is not removed or softened the paint?

If you rub denatured alcohol on a painted surface and the paint does not get removed or softened, it indicates that the paint is likely resistant to the solvent. Denatured alcohol primarily affects certain types of paint, particularly those that are water-based or have alcohol-soluble components. If the paint remains intact, it may be oil-based or a high-quality acrylic that is not affected by alcohol. In this case, it’s advisable to test other solvents or methods for cleaning or removing the paint without damaging the surface.
