Pour some nail polish remover on the paint and throw them in the washer. Hang them to dry. When dry you will see that the oil from the paint is still there. Put Dawn dishwashing liquid on the spot. Rewash. Jeans should come out as good as new.

Tear a few holes in them, spatter some more paint on them and sell them for around $150.00 MOL
Else them as is for work jeans.
Oil base removal:
Spread fabric/garment on a flat surface with the oil based stain facing up.
Sprinkle any type of baby powder (cornstarch or regular) generously over the stain. Don't be stingy with the powder
Let the powder rest on the stain for several hours or even overnight.
Brush or shake off the excess powder.
If the oil/powder residue raises up on the fabric, scrape it off, reapply powder and then let fabric rest again.
Wash or dry clean as usual.
If washed, check the spot before placing the fabric in the dryer.
If the oil spot is still there, rubbing alcohol might remove the spot, but alcohol could also lift the color so TEST in an inconspicous spot before using.
Tips
Washing the fabric in warm or hot water is better, but cold water will do also.
Before dry cleaning, make sure you get ALL of the powder off the fabric.
Baby powder is also great for getting sand off feet, legs and other body parts because of it's oil absorbing ability.

This is a hard one you don`t get the oil base paint out of them. Keep them just for painting from now on and save your new ones. Sorry!

Hi no joke--try Lysol--its a cleaning product--try it full-strength & make sure you wear rubber gloves though.
Soak the jeans for about 30 minutes, and then scrape off the excess--treat the jeans with a good quality stain agent--i like the shout brand myself--let them sit for an hour--and then try to wash them on an extra soak cycle again (on their own due to the paint, lysol & shout).
They will stink--but it should work--after the stain is out--try to wash them with detergent and hang them outside for a great airing out.
You could also spend some $$ & try to go with the Dry Cleaner--although I've had some luck w/ the lysol myself

If it hasn't been dry for too long you might try turpentine. Usually, though, you just have to accept that these are now your painting clothes.

You can't. Just save them and keep using them when you paint. You can try scraping as much as you can off, but there will still be traces.

try wd-40 spray.Look at this site it has 2,000 uses for wd-40.There is one that said to spray it with wd-40 to loosen the paint before scraping.Several I have tried and it worked.
