    If it is a non material blind it should be easy to scrape off with your nail or lightly with a scourer.

    (found on google) Material - If the paint is a latex based paint, it is water based and at times you can put a ice cube over the spot and leave it for about 4 to 5 minutes and the paint (the water) will be able to break up. If it is oil based it is impossible to remove without damaging.
