How do I get paint stains out of Levis?

Answer by  Rosengurtle (147)

The way you need to go about removing paint stains from your jeans depends on the type of paint you used. If it's oiled based paint, scrape off the excess and then carefully apply a small amount of paint thinner, use a sponge to scrub it out. Water based paint has to be washed out before it dries.

It depends on the type of paint. For oil-based paints, try using turpentine or paint thinner and a toothbrush. Goo Gone or Krud Kutter and a toothbrush will work on latex paints. Rinse immediately and well - you may have slightly faded spots if you overwork the cleaners.

Take an old tooth brush and some rubbing alcohol and rub at the paint stain gently. If the paint doesn't come off you can go to a hardware store and get a bottle of cleaner called "Goof off" it removes paint from carpet and should remove it from clothing.

First off, i think it all depends on what kind of paint it is. I heard that paint stains can be removed by kerosene oil. Also they sell stain removing solution at stores like Wal-mart.

Paint stains can be removed by either dipping the stained area in kerosene oil to wash it later or by using nail polish remover.

You need to buy a stain removing solution first. Then you spray some on the paint stain and just scrub it really well, and then wash.
