Hi,
I have a jacket that has paint on the back of it, is there any way to remove this?
Thanks in advance.

Probably a few years, the paint was for internal walls.CapricornLass said:Do you know what sort of paint it is? And how long has it been on the jacket?0 -
Then it is likely to be acrylic paint That is waterbased, but I think that after so long a period, its unlikely to come out. If its washable, you could try tamping it with soap before washing it, and see what happens, but I'm not hopeful that it will be a success. I hope I'm wrong, though!Sealed Pot Challenge no 14
