Hi everyone,

I was moving some paint tins from the car and must of got some on my coat! As now the leather drivers seat has some green paint on it!

Is there anything that would get it off?

What type of paint?

Not sure but I have just found this on gloss paint

But have just found Not much will remove goss paint but white spirit. I'd test an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't affect the colour of the leather, after using the white spirit clean and condition the leather.

I'll pm a member on RRSport who might know

Thanks! I will try that tomorrow.

Baby wipes came up on a few responses on a search I did on detailingworld as did steam cleaner

Come highly rated in all things leather too

baby wipes and if that don't work i'd try the white spirit it will probably take the shine off but then you need to feed the leather  When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

A friend of mine used a baby wipe on his leather chair to clean of some crayon marks, and it took some of the colour out of the leather. Had to claim on his insurance.

Trouble is masonry paints got concrete chips in it, probably the worst paint to get on anything except the house.
A friend dropped a pot of it on his neighbours Skoda when he was up the ladder, improved the finish on that car no end.

Your best bet is to nip into a Johnstones Paints centre / Crown Decorators Centre / Dulux Decorators centre (they are dotted all over the country, just go on their website and find your nearest depot) and ask them for their advice. I know of 'painters wipes' that decorators use to get paint off their hands, im guessing these would be stronger than baby wipes if the baby wipe option doesnt work. Ive used baby wipes on my seats to get marks off without any problems at all. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

You probably are aware, but the colour finish on the leather is itself a type of spray on paint, so you'll need to be careful that what removes the spilt paint doesn't also remove the original finish. I'd be tempted to go to a car leather specialist to be on the safe side.
Best of luck anyway!

Thanks everyone!
