Hello everyone... I found some small Paint Stains on my leather seats :bang

I've googled how to remove these but the answer are pretty inconsistent... does anyone know how to remove Paint from Leather seats without damaging the leather?

I will try and get some pics up soon...

On my moms jeep seats i used a razer BACKWARDS and kind of scraped it off. IM NOT SUGGESTING THIS but it worked for me.
The paint was close to the colour of the seats so its BARELY noticeable

Use a all purpose cleaner like spray nine and a tooth brush and scrub it

When I bought my used 07 gx, the previous owner was a painter and the seats were covered in paint... I took it to professional detailing shops and they couldn't getit out. What eventually worked? a $10 can of paint stripper (Poly Strippa) from Home Depot. Can't say what it might do to the leather, but the spots are pretty small so you could use a really small amount with a fine brush and it might work. Good luck!

"Winnings Colours" stain remover is a popular choice, but as always test on a small inconspicuous spot to see how it affects the leather. You may also want to look at "Folex" or something like Goo Gone and Super Degooper....provided that it is latex based paint though. Also available at your local Home Hardware store....

If this is housepaint, which it looks like it might be, I can help you. Nail polish remover (acetone) will work 100% of the time on latex paint but make sure you test it somewhere inconspicuous to see what it does to your leather. Varsol for oil paints but try the same thing, it will at the very least dry out your leather, you should condition it afterwards.

+1 I was gonna suggest paint remover, use a qtip or something and then condition it good after.
