Do you know how to remove oil based paint on my adidas shoe?

  • Answer:

    No I am not going to those websites. Shoes are basically "leather/rubber/plastic/wooden Oil based paints...there is a few different formulations but then they are different from oil based because they use a different reducer(or paint thinner) If your shoes are leather try odorless paint thinner or varsol(which is the stinkier version of the same stuff). That will work if the paint is less than 48 hours old ( so barely dry) You will need to put on shoe polish afterwards as the "thinner takes out the natural oils in the leather as well" and you might save them. Rubber or plastic same story minus the shoe polish. The whole idea of paint is to stick ( and of course it sticks best to the surfaces you did not want the paint on ) Me I always use old shoes when I paint "or I bought them specifically for painting" so specs do not matter. It is gonna get a ton more. Sometimes it takes a couple pairs of pants and shoes to learn the hard truth. And oil is easier to remove than dried on Latex paint.
