Spilled paint - help!
I left some auto touch-up paint on my back seat, parked the car in the sun and the little containers popped and leaked onto the seat. I tried scrubbing it off with paint turpentine and detergent but the darn spot wont come out. Anyone know how to remove dried oil paint from this fabric without ruining it?

Paint + Fabric = SOL

Might need some harsh solvent to break the paint down, unfortunately the same solvents may damage fabric and leave a different kind of stain. Id try maybe one of those mini steam cleaners to heat it up and then try to clean it.
If worse comes to worse use it as a excuse talk to garm and get some nice seatcovers.

Lots of helpful posts here... lol
I agree with YarisSedan, try a steam cleaner. Its paint not dye, it WILL come out. If steam doesn't work take it to a detailing shop or a car upholsterer. |

Didn't think of getting a steamer. Thanks for the idea!
