Paint removal on leather?

asop
Drove one of my helpers to lunch awhile back and he had paint on this pants and shirt! Got on the truck leather seats. Any magic remover available ;) Thanks

    What kind of paint is it? Some paints will be harder to remove than others. But it should have been done right away. If it ever happens again take a damp rag are keep the area wet until you can get some solvent to remove it.

    Today's leather seats are nothing but leather with a plastic topper on it. I would test an inconspicuous place to make sure that the color will not be removed, and then try some turpentine or other solvent until you find the right solvent to remove the paint and not remove the color of the plastic

    i think you would be money ahead if you took it to an upholstery place, ideally one of those specializing in vehicles and asking them. im sure you are not the first person this has happened to.

    If it is enamel or acrylic, use either reducer or lacquer thinner. It will remove the paint but you may have to re dye and/or oil your leather.
    If latex, you can wash it off.

    You might try peanut butter. The oil might loosen the paint and allow you to wipe it off.
