Re: Removing Gloss Paint from clothing

VANISH! is my universal stain remover ... and does work on gloss paint also; be sure to follow the instructions, otherwise you may damage the material.

The other paint not to allow to dry is acrylic based.It may be possible to soak this off,IF the paint has remained on the surface of the fabric as a blob.If it has been wiped off and therefore pushed into the fabric's fibres it won't come out very easily at all.After soaking it should go soft and if it is in blob form you can CAREFULLY pick it off(the same goes for PVA glue).So with acrylic don't wipe just soak RIGHT AWAY.
