Not sure you can especially if the paint is not water based. It has probably soaked itself into the jean fabric. I think the only good chance you had was washing them right after it happened but not sure that would have removed it all even then. Someone may know of a cure but you might just have to get creative. After all, your post is on thrifty fun. Who knows...continue getting paint on them and you may come up with a new fad. Just remember all of us when you are rich and famous! Good luck and I hope you find a cure!

RE: Dried Paint On Jeans

Try Goof Off, it removes dried latex from just about anything. It has a very strong smell, so you'll need to rewash your jeans a few times afterward. Spot test first, of course, to make sure the jeans are colorfast. Goof Off is in a yellow container and can be found in paint sections of most stores WalMart, K Mart, as well as hardware stores.

Believe it or not hand sanitizer will get the dried paint out of the jeans. Apply it and let it set on the paint for about 10 minutes. Use a butter knife to scrape off the softened paint. (11/03/2010)
