How do I get paint off my leather jacket?

[roughneckrob]

Hey, My daughter got some green paint on my leather bomber jacket. Its not much just a few spots, how do I remove it without damaging the jacket?

My first thought is to consult a dry cleaner in your area with a good reputation in the local community. Leather jacket or sofa/furniture manufacturers might also be a prime source of good advice. Beyond that, do you know whether this was an oil or water based paint? Paint thinner is obviously very effective on oil based paints and Goof Off makes short work of latex based paints. If any of the paint spots are in a less conspicuous area of the jacket you might experiment with the appropriate solvent in a very careful manner. I'm thinking about barely wetting the tip of a Q-tip and gently dabbing or spinning it directly on the paint spot. Good luck.

You could try mineral oil if the leather is dark. If the leather is lighter color, consult an expert. Agree with the Mod above about using Q-tip. I would google this as I am sure many have had similar problems.

probly better off just painting the whole thing green.

Being this is a knife site, I would say scrape it or cut out the damaged piece with a knife.

Try a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball.
