how do you get gloss paint out of a leather sofa?

Question

white gloss paint, brown leather sofa

Answer 1

Get "pure silicone spray" NOT (WD-40), from a hardware store. Spray on the paint, and rub gently yet continually on the spot, with a soft clean cotton rag. The silicone will loosen the adhesive property's of the paint, and not harm the Leather. It won't stain either, it just evaporates, leaving a "waterproof" barrier for further protection of the fine Leather.

If paint will not clean off with LTT Maxi Cleaner (www.LTTsolutions.net) it is unlikely to be removed with anything that will not also damage the leather finish. A good technician should be able to reduce the paint and colour over any residues.

If you do have a paint spillage:

Remove excess wet paint using a knife, wallpaper scraper etc. taking care not to scratch the surface and working from the outside to the inside of the spill so as not to spread it further. Once the bulk is removed mop up the rest with a cloth or paper towel again working from the outside. The remainder should now be cleaned ideally with a foam leather cleaner (LTT do a ready to use foam cleaner) but warm soapy water can be used if leather cleaner is not to hand. All of these processes need to be carried out before the paint dries. The object is to remove as much of the paint before it dries as possible. This will make whatever processes are necessary to finally restore the leather more effective.

Do not be tempted to use products such as brush cleaner, white spirit, turps, nail varnish remover etc as these are likely to damage the leather finish and make final repairs difficult or impossible.

Once the paint is dry there is nothing that can safely be used without damaging the leather and it is best to contact your insurance company or a good leather technician.

Trained technicians throughout the country can be found by contacting LTT on 01423 881027.

Answer 7

Get a spray can of ether "Qwik Start" engine starting fluid at Wal- Mart or any auto parts store.

Spray it on the paint...not too much. The ether will freeze the paint and it will crack off...bit-by-bit with as you rub it with a cloth or a Q-tip.

Won't damage the leather at all....

Answer 8

Take a small amount of charcoal lighter fluid on a towel and rub it into the paint. If it's on thick, you might have to keep adding lighter fluid to the towel. Once you've got it off, then you can just use soap and water to clean the area.

Answer 9

gloss is oil based and so is petrol but petrol contains thinners so use petrol to breakdown the paint and rub it off , allow it to dry and then use normal shoe polish to restore the leather .
