Yeahhhh...don't give them to her in a vase!!

Maybe if the spray paint is only on the very tips of the carpet you could save it off? It will still look weird but not as obvious

rug sounds different than carpet to me. Is this a moveable rug? If it is rotate until the offending spot is under something.

OR...

hatch some romantic idea for her. it needs to involve you making her something that would have required spraying paint inside the house. you'll need to actually make something but it'll soften the blow nicely. paint it outside though...no need to make more mess!

Sorry I don't live closer, I'd fix that up for you. Paint can come out if taken out by someone who knows what they are doing, if it is a big deal to your wife, the best thing to do is nothing, do not try to clean it yourself, as chemicals can set, and or cause a barrier, do not even use water, let the paint dry. Call a carpet cleaner and see if they can take it out for you.

call a carpet company. If its long pile and the spray is just on the surface they can shear the spot down a bit or if thats not possible they can cut a piece out of a closet and patch it. Depending on the pile it can be seamed in so its all but invisable.

WOW thanks guy, its a rental place, its krylon fusion spray paint, its on the carpet i said rug in the title because it was shorter. hopefully i just hit the surface. i might have to call someone in.

well i soaked the carpet in acetone, and most of it came up, its a rental so i didnt really want to pay 100 bucks to clean a little section, the wife doesnt even notice, i might tell her on a good day haha. so if anyone does that, just pour on the acetone. though i was using krylon fusion so that might have helped.
