Any tips out there on how to remove house(?) paint from a leather jacket? Luckily, it was my older, cowhide A-2 and not my new Wested, but I have this glob of white paint on the back that looks like a bird got me. The jacket is black.
I took it to a cleaners but they wanted to charge $20 just to attempt to clean it -- and made no promises. One of my friends suggested saddle soap. Thoughts?
Help me, (Club) Obi-Wan... you're my only hope... (thanks)
If it's latex paint, saddle soap would be my suggestion. Once you've done the cleaning, put the color back with brown Pecards leather dressing. Oil based paint, I'd suggest talking to a leather cleaning expert. You could really mess up your jacket if you try to use any chemical remover.
Oh, I've seen and done just about everything I write about, so it's just a matter of digging into the gray matter and hoping I pull out the right memory file.
My next suggestion would be to just paint the whole jacket and then use saddle soap for a uniform look, but I don't want Michaelson leaving his porch with the shotgun coming after me.
Oh, and buttering it up on one side to see which side hits the ground when dropped from the kitchen table...
Remember, these are things you can do in your home for virtually no cost at all!
Now now, Jerry, YOUR jacket problem question was a completely different one, if you'll recall. You asked what Pecards tasted best with YOUR jacket....I just gave you the short answer. 8-[
