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, acetone, WD40 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 UK can be found by contacting LTT on 01423 881027.

Paint and body shops will often have hand soaps specially formulated to remove paint from your hands without using harsh solvents. Since leather is essentially skin, this soap can remove paint without damaging it. See if your local body shop or auto body supply company can get you some of this product. Test a small amount of the soap in an inconspicuous area first just to make sure it doesn't cause any discoloration. If it doesn't then try it on the paint. You may have to work it in for a few minutes to get it to work. I have used this successfully many times, but it doesn't always work. It depends a lot on the type of paint, the brand of soap, and how long the paint has been on the leather. It's worth a shot, and as long as you're careful you shouldn't make it any worse. If it doesn't work after a few minutes, then just stop and look for another solution.

short neat nails are nice as well as neat. I dont like long nails because dirt can get under them and it look nasty
its digusting and gross when somebodys nails tend to be all chewed up to the ending.
