Getting Paint off of leather seats

[quadster2005]

Well I bought a house in November and we have been remodeling including painting the whole place. Someone sat in the back with paint on their leg and got it on the leather, not the suede. What can I use to get this off?:dontknow:

umm i think goo gone might do it

is that safe for the leather?

What kind of paint? Oil based, Water based?

 

[viperhauler]

i do it all the time

try goo gone first (the citrus one) it's not as strong as goof off....

i can't remember if the goof off will take the color out of the leather...try the back side of the leather flaps on the front seats at the bottom...

that goof off is stronger....i use it a lot

edit: if you put this stuff on your truck, i'm not responsible if it messes it up

or you can just cut it out, too

if it is waterbased paint, try placing a damp rag over it for an hour or so, then you should be able to blot it out with a dry rag, do not scrub it.
if it is oil based paint (unlikely) you'll need to use a mild solvent, try a citrus product first. apply it to a rag and blot the stain up, turning to a clean spot on the rag frequently. this will take a long time, but it will come up. STOP if you see dye from the seat on the rag.

its water based

i'm pretty sure the goo gone will do it and not mess the seats up...

How about a cheese grater & lacquer thinner?

Try "Krud Kutter". Available at Lowes, in the cleaning supply aisle.
