My wife was colouring her hair and got some die splashes on a white panel door (white gloss painted)
Tried on/two things ie:-white spirit, nail varnish remover no joy!
Any suggestions that wont damage paint just remove the die.

When I accidentally got permanent marker onto a white gloss door, I was able to remove it with one of those "magic eraser" cleaners. There are various brands of them about - they all seem to do the same job and they work extremely well. I would give that a try for the hair dye.
If you are in the UK - try your local "pound shop" for the erasers
There is a link below to show you what I am talking about.

Well it is dye and is not meant to be removed. I would think by trying white spirit or amyl acetate (nail varnish remover) you have pushed the dye into the paint and taken some paint off. You may have managed it with hot water and detergent had youi tried that first but I think the only thing now is to rub it down and repaint

Try rubbing alcohol, or hair spray, or lysol spray. They take pen ink out of fabric, it's worth a shot.

Clorox bleach pen. It should take the dye right out. Good luck!!

The only thing you can do,is strip the door and repaint it
