how can i get white gloss paint off a leather suite?? will white spirit be ok, many thanks?

Answer 1

Use a steamer but don't let the paint melt too much or it will just spread. Heat just enough to soften and you should then be able to lift or roll it off. Be carefull with any spirit as it could damage the colour or the leather. Meths is probably the best one to try after the steamer has removed most of it.

Answer 2

I've used a product called Goofoff to remove dried paint from a cotton shirt. I had to rub and rub and then launder, but it worked quite well. I don't know how it would work with leather.

Answer 3

I used nail varnish remover on mine and it took the top layer p off the leather and made it worse,try ringing a furniture shop. They will at least tell you what not to put on it.

Answer 4

Why dont u paint the entire suite white ? giving the illusion u have brought a new one to all your friends.

Answer 5

Not really as it can stain leather. You need to get some leather cleaner - Furniture shops or Halfords would stock this.

Answer 6

please don't try nail varnish remover it will take the colour out of the leather. have a look in the telephone directory for a leather cleaning specialist and ring them for advice just to be on the safe side.

Answer 7
