Removing Paint from Leather

[DenaliDan]

I'm looking at a car on ebay that has paint splashed on the leather seats and I'm thinking surely there's a way to get that paint off. Any ideas?

I heard olive oil will help remove paint from leather.

Alright, I just contacted my friend that owns a detail shop.

 

He said to use Graffiti Off or Unbelievable Ink Out.

 

Stuff to remove paint has alot of harsh chemicals. I don't think the end result will be as good as expected because it will take some of the dye out of the material.

 

Be very careful. Try it out on an inconspicuous place if you decide to try out either of the above products.

 

Good luck if you decide to buy the car.

If the owner didn't care enough to get that paint off, I can imagine how bad he treated the rest of the car. I'd pass on that one if I were you.

Thanks for making that call VetteGirl.

 

I'll also consider you're advice, Rich. Good point.

 

I'm really curious about the Olive Oil.

Seeing that Adam is from the Italian side...I'm sure he knows what Olive Oil can do
