I was painting a PT table, and I got Red, Gloss Enamel paint on my MARPAT Desert Utilities. Anyone have a way to get it out? I have already tried nail polish remover(Acetone), and AJAX with bleach. I really don't want to spend another 40 bucks getting a new pair.

Thanks.

Sandpaper.

ETA: Let it dry first.

if the paint was latex, use denatured alcohol. will come out not problem. if it was solvent based, try laquer thinner--but you are prebably SOL.

Yeah, well I had coveralls on over the MARPAT, but I guess it got through anyway. I will try denatured alcohol, sand paper, and I heard that Hairspray works also.
