DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET PAINT OFF LEATHER SEATS THAT HAVE BEEN SPRAYED TRYED WARM WATER TOOK A BIT OF PAINT OFF ANYBODY HELP
 
If your going down the thinners route, I'd try white spirit first, its less likely to cause damage, although also less likely to remove the paint !

If the warm water has removed some paint, maybe you should carry on that way, may take a while but could be the safest ?

I've got some "knackered" black leather p6 seats that I won't be using, if you want me to test some thinners on one I will.
 
I know this sounds odd,but I managed to get some paint off of vinyl with a bit t-cut.Did the trick with no ill effects.
Good luck!
 
I would test that first, as t-cut dries to a white powder which may soak in on leather seats, vinyl being more water-proof would allow it to be wiped off.
 
Someone sold me some seats which had been painted ( ?) with some treatment which was Ok on the leather , but awful on the vinyl. I used thinners but you need not to soak it or the vinyl softens and loses it's grain
 
Evening,
I just came across a bottle of paint brush restorer under the sink!!
it is a lot milder than thinners or white spirit,as it says work it in and then soak for 24hrs.
I tried a dab on my PC/office chair,which is a leather bronze flat pleat front seat from a p6, mounted on an old swivel base. It had a bit of arctic white overspray on it,and with gentle yet firm wiping,it came off with no real problem.the leather did not seem to be adversly affected.
