recommends a combination of ammonia and turpentine.


Ew!...Ick!...I think I'll just leave 'em!! LOL...maybe a splash or
two strategically placed in another spot, they can be "designer"
jeans!

Get a marker the color of the pants and cover the paint stain with the
marker. If they are blue jeans, even a ball point pen might work. Or try
to match the color of the fabric with fabric paint.

I need some help. We painted barn boards (don't ask) last
weekend, and I ended up with a big blob of paint on the butt of my
brand new jeans. I washed the whole load, my clothes, dh's and dd's
clothes together in cold water, and none of the paint came out.

Can you think of a way to spot treat these and maybe get the
paint out post-laundry? (yes, I ran them through the dryer...dumb
move, I know)

Thanks!

Putting on my paint store hat here...

Did you use water-based paint or oil-based? Makes a difference.

If water-based, given that it's been a week and they've been through the
dryer, I'd try a product like Goof Off. (Go to your paint store and ask for
it -- if they don't carry it, they should know what the equivalent product
they carry is). Let it soak for a bit, then scrub with an old toothbrush you
should have thrown away. (Then throw it away!) Rinse thoroughly, then wash
again. Use the Goof Off sparingly, as it might attack the dye in your jeans.

If oil based, I'd try the same procedure with kerosene. You could use paint
thinner too, but kerosene is a slower drying solvent, giving you more time
to loosen the paint.

And next time, don't wear new jeans. Paint has an attraction to new clothes.
But you already figured that out, didn't you.

I have no clue! LOL...I was just handed the brush and told what to
paint!

Whulp, given the fear I have of flammable products, I'm going to leave
the paint right were it is. I'll think of something chic to do to
them!

No, the answer is, don't paint! I had no idea we were painting that
day...I was doing well, till I managed to swipe against a wet board,
and then it was "oops". I also have a few spots on the upholstery in
my 1 month old van. Oh well. That's the price of having the horses,
I guess!

Thanks for puttin' on the ole painter's hat and eddykatting me!
