Default Another how to remove paint from leather seats

My wife just bought a 2007 Ford 150 truck with black leather seats. On both the passenger and driver seat are spots of paint. I would guess that this is some sort of house paint. Some spots are white and some are blue.

I have tried chipping or pulling it off, but the stuff is not giving away. The spots are also not very thick or big in size. Any ideas wackos on how to get this stuff off?

You can try alcohol. Spray some on a microfiber towel and let it sit on the paint so it has time to dwell. Just a few seconds at a time.

Mr. Clean magic eraser.

I had some paint smudges on interior pieces are my car had some bodywork done. Magic eraser took it right off and left the interior looking brand new.

You really dont want to use the Mr Clean Magic Erasers on leather because it is abrasive and can remove the top coat.

Unless his entire seat is covered in paint and he really has to scrub it I don't think the magic eraser would cause any damage. True it is slightly abrasive. However, a small smudge of paint shouldn't take much to get it off. You can't tell on my leather where I used the magic eraser.
