Removing Black Paint from Clothing

By Vanessa (Guest Post)

When my kids had art class in school, they used to get paint on their clothes all the time. Lestoil works really well at getting paint off from clothes. I'm not sure if it works on all paint types, but it did work on the school paint. You just put some on the paint spot and rub it in. Hope this helps.

Turpentine takes off paint if it is oil-based or enamel. You can also buy something called Turpenoid, which is a turpentine substitite, is odorless and can be found at art supply stores--maybe some hardware stores too. If there are layers, something like house paint remover that takes paint off in layers might work but some paint stains can never come off. If it's acrylic paint then soap and water should work (or try an art supply store for specialized removers) but if it's already dry it may be too late. You could try chipping it off. But at some point removing paint may not be worth it because the clothes will be destroyed and you just have to patch over the stains or give up.

Try WD40. I just got an email the other day about all it's uses, and one was paint stain removal, spray it on and was as usual. Hope it works for you.

Nail polish remover, but test it in a hidden spot first.
