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. Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

You may have to bead your butt... the pants that is. :-)
Diana -- Weird people need beads, too wrote in message ... 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! The Blessed Fiddy, Patroness Saint of the Disorganized LC in Sunny So Cal Personality Development Specialist (Full-time Mom) |

(yes, I ran them through the dryer...dumb move, I know) 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. -- Kathy A. (Woodland, CA) Queen of Fabric Tramps http://www.kayneyquilting.com , remove the obvious to reply |

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