Oh lord, please do not use Goof Off- Goo Gone on your clothes. That is a oil based product similar to WD-40 and yes,it might take paint out but you will then be left with a big oil/grease stain to try and remove. Go on-line to Red Devil Paint.com and get a small bag of "Save a Brush". This is the only thing I have ever used that actually will take dried paint out of material. It was first sold to professional painters to remove any paint from their very expensive paint brushes and painters over-alls. Back then people did not throw away their tools/clothes.

They had one pair and had to take care of them. That was something my great grandfather and grandfather used and is still made today. Very inexpensive also. Get it at ,"Red Devil Paint Company.com" Do not use an oil based product they do not work.

Sometimes "Goop" hand cleaner will remove dried paint from clothing, but generally anything that will dissolve the dried paint will also harm the clothing. (05/18/2009)

If it is a latex paint, try Goof Off or Goo Gone. They are both latex paint removers that can get paint spots off carpet and clothing. I would try applying the solution to a cloth first, then rub it on the spots that have the paint on them. It should loosen it enough to where it can be removed. (11/28/2009)

I haven't tried this on clothes, but had great success on the carpet with dried on gloss paint. Spray with hair spray (lacquer) and leave for 5 seconds or so and then rub off with a damp cloth. Good luck. (11/30/2009)
