Our local area has volcanic red mud that stains really badly. Her dogs have left mud stains on the outside window sill of the house which won't come off. On advice from a local hardware, she colour-matched some paint (not knowing that it was coloured render and not paint) which has turned out darker. She was honestly trying to do the right thing but the real estate and owners are being very nasty and are going to try and take her for repainting the whole outside of the house. She has barely the income to support her and her daughter without being taken to the cleaners (so to speak) over this. Question: Is there anything she can do to get the paint off without bleaching the colour out of the render? Or anything else she can do? Thanks in advance.

I guess you could get it done again, but now the owner knows, they may be difficult. I would do it anyway though... I would have thought that as she was allowed to have dogs in the rental home, the problem would be considered fair wear and tear, or at the very worst she would lose her bond. So, if she does nothing she may be sued by the owner, if she is found to be to blame, the court will take into account her ability to pay and maybe $20/month would be demanded - totally not worth the owner pursuing. Get some more paint and try again... then sit tight but be prepared to lose the bond.
