Re: Removing Gloss Paint from clothing
Smear the affected item in Butter - not margarine, then machine/hand wash as normal, it will come out.
FYI - I havent tried this on years old paint ruined clothes but on dry paint its definately worked, on soft cotton (t shirts) and hard cottons (denim)

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.

Re: Removing Gloss Paint from clothing
Me thinks they might have either - Got it out
- Thrown it away
- Left it
- Grown out of it by now
- Given up after 4yrs.

They probably still had it up until a week ago then decided to throw it out to make way for the Vanish they bought on offer.....
