Answers:
Mineral spirits or a product called "Oops"
Turpentine
I would use paint thinner - or ask someone at Home Depot or even call by phone for any other products
if it is dry, it is just like latex, YOU DON'T. You buy new.
You don't ...mineral spirits will clean up wet oil base somewhat but not completely..lacuqer thinner will eat it off..but also will eat the colorant out of the clothes..and by all means don't use "oops" or "goof off".(same thing) for it is designed for LATEX paints only.all it is is denatured alcohol, and will not cut oil based materials...
Oil Based Paint Removal from Clothing
To remove oil based paint from clothing, mineral spirits should remove the paint from most fabrics. Rub the stain with a clean white cloth dipped in mineral spirits until the paint is removed. Launder as usual. Do not use mineral spirits on delicate fabrics such as rayon or acetate.=)
