Hello,
Any tricks to getting dried house paint off an OEM bedliner? The 2020 tradesman I bought in march came with it. I tried a wire wheel but that was taking off the liner as well.

Edit: I should have said OEM Spray in bedliner. I failed to realize that RAM had plastic bedliners too.

I had to do similar many years ago. I finally had success with some light scrubbing and careful, gentle applications of paint thinner, just being extremely over cautious. It took a bit, but finally worked, and the newly cleaned area eventually blended with the surrounding area.
 
Try some paint thinner? Mineral spirits first, then acetone. I think mechanical removal will be tough without damaging the coating. I'd stick with chemicals.

Side note: Dollar tree sells "LA's Awesome" cleaner. I've yet to find anything it won't clean.

Disclaimer, not a chemical engineer, don't know what the acetone will do to bedliner.
 
I’ve heard you can try some WD40, it has been said to be able to remove paint as long as it hasn’t been on too long. It works if someone vandalizes your car with spray paint. But IDK about house paint on your liner. If you do try it, try in a small spot first.
 
I've had good luck getting old dried paint off stuff using Kleen Strip Brush Cleaner - including brushes go figure. Test first of course.
 
I had exterior paint on the side of my truck once. I used a clay bar to remove it, might work with a bedliner?
