Hello there!
I'm new here - and hoping someone can help me.
I managed to spill metallic blue car paint on a burgundy duvet cover. Does anyone have any tips on how I can remove it?
Thanks
Mookie

Once acrylic paint has dried, it is impossible to remove from fabric.

I did some checking on the internet and found that some people had problems were the paint was impossible to remove and others say it can be.
I havent ran into this problem so i do not have a personal experience. Best thing i can say is try a stripper agent used for paint removal of that nature.
I would apply the stripper agent according to directions onto a rag and first blot a small area after you wet it and let dwell 5-10 mins..see if there is any transfer.. From what i saw if you can rewet the paint get it back into a liquid form it should remove.
Again, this is just from some of my readings on the internet. If you wish type in
acrylic paint removing or removing acrylic paint into your favorite search engine and check them out. I read about 3 sites and they all had mixed results.

Any DIY cleaning method should be tested first in inconspicuous place for ill-effects on fibers and dye. Paint strippers are recommended for hard surfaces. Paint stains are best treated while fresh. Once dry, they are next to impossible to remove.
