How do I remover appliance spray paint from leather car seats?

My ';boyfriend'; let a can of black appliance spray paint explode in my truck and now its on the windows and leather seats! All I can think to do is to try to re-stain the seats but thats alottttt of work. Any suggestions?How do I remover appliance spray paint from leather car seats?
Nail polish remover or even laundry detergent and warm water. If your leather seats are ';finished'; - meaning waterproof - then it will work better. Good luck.How do I remover appliance spray paint from leather car seats?
hair spray! i know it sounds really weird but i got paint on my leather barstools and it took it out. you have to apply a lot of pressure. i put olive oil or a leather conditioner on it afterwards so the hairspray doesnt dry it out.

What are the best colors to paint a room to make it look bigger or just better?

Im changing rooms, im taking one that use to be home to an infant baby girl, so the walls are pink! i know i dont want to paint it over with just white.. i want something cool, crazy, yet calm mature. HGTV is not helping, and im tired of watching the freaking channel!What are the best colors to paint a room to make it look bigger or just better?
You could do aqua or a blue teal that looks like ocean/beach. It is cool but not too crazy that you cannot get to bed. Do white trim.





IF you don't want all one wild color, do one wall (like the one your bed is on) in the wild color and then the other 3 walls in a lighter version of that color.


for example, one black wall 3 grey walls OR one red wall, 3 tan walls.What are the best colors to paint a room to make it look bigger or just better?
Light colors make a room look larger. In paint, there really isn't a 'just white'. There are literally hundreds of whites that shade into all other colors. I personally like warm whites that are touched with golds and reds, but if you live in a very hot environment a cool white, touched with greens and blues can have a psychological cooling effect.


Wanting something cool puts you into the blue/green tones, crazy yet calm mature, thats a tough order...lime green would be too crazy, sage wouldn't be crazy enough...what about a very pale seafoam green ? I mean very pale, like an almost white but touched with blue and green. It's retro and sophisticated, but can be crazy too.


Anyway, have fun with it. And if you really aren't sure, do what I did. Pick a color or colors, buy the smallest cans you can, paint a 3x3 section of wall with each of them and live with it for a week or so. That's how I picked my last interior and exterior colors, I rejected a couple before I chose the final color and I'm delighted with the results.
Light colors can do it. Put one color on the opposite walls and one color on the other two, that will be a good start. A large mirror on the wall can also be used to make it look bigger. You can even go so far as to paint angles on the ceiling.
Bigger or brighter, you want to go with a light color. Sage green is nice and so is a buttery yellow--not to pastel or bright though. I vote for sage.
to make a room look larger you need fairly light colours, or possibly one dark feature wall the rest light, always do the ceiling in white as this will make it look higher
In my home decorating experience, yellow is a harsh color on the eyes no matter how light. It has something to do with your pupils/ reaction to the color brightness.....





I prefer warmer, calm colors. Right now decorators are hot on clay beige. Our new home is painted with it and I have accented a wall, some arches and recesses with a shade four shades darker and it looks rich and warm....





As for decorating and accesssorizing with this color scheme, sage green, grape or merlot are good choices. Pay attention to the moldings and door and window frames also. If you paint them white, they open up and brighten the room. Use airy fabrics on the windows. You can always purchase shutters for privacy underneath. Keep your chiatsckis (?) to a minimum, but with impact in either a strong color or form....





My living room is black, clay beige, cocoa and off-white with merlot as my impact color and I'm very pleased with the look and feel of the room..





Good luck
Light colors make a room appear larger and dark colors make a room appear smaller... you dont have to use white, just use a light color... your imagination should tell you what color to select... if you need some examples light shades of yellow, blue, green, etc
well i would say bergindee it is nie sophisticated and very mature!!! and i am sorry if i spelt the color wrong
Get a light neutral color, it doesn't have to be white. go to Lowes, Home Depot, where ever you shop. Look at the paint spotches and pick what YOU like, not what a fruity home decorator on hgtv likes.
go mod! light colors to look bigger. paint each wall a cordinating color or opposites the same color or even one wall a different color. also mirrors, mirrors, mirrors, and more mirrors! put several long mirrors on one wall! it will look great! good luck to you.
Yellow! It's bright and still is light enough to make a room seem bigger. Be sure to prime the walls first so the pink doesn't bleed through.
It's true that light colors expand a space, but small rooms have their own charm - ';cozy'; can be great without being large.


Take a look at your wardrobe! What colors are you drawn to? What makes your heart sing?


When I was young(er) I was so afraid to make a commitment to color and everything I had was sooo bland. It took me way too long to find my palette - don't let that happen to you!


If you're a teen or young adult, it might be fun to experiment with a kind of Bohemian look, so you don't have to worry about everything being too ';matchy-matchy'; and you can feel free to play with color.
If you are looking for a very relaxing color, try a really light hyacinth or dusty lilac color. It looks really nice and airy and soothing and will make a small room look larger. It also looks great with sage green as an accent.

How do we remove water based paint from denim?

My brother just painted a shed for our grandmother and now he has white (water based) paint on the back of his jeans. How do we get it out?How do we remove water based paint from denim?
If it is water based paint then scrape all the excess off. Soak in hot soapy water and then rinse til clear. DO NOT PUT IN DRYER. Let air dry so you can see if you got it all out. If not do again. Once dryed itll never come out.How do we remove water based paint from denim?
just use 'spray n wash' and put it in the washer.
soak spots with oops then let sit. then wash

What is the best type of paint to use on metal miniatures?

I'm thinking about getting into the Warmachine tabletop strategy game. I believe the miniatures for that game are metallic. The most experience I've had painting minis was with plastic ones. Is there a particular type of paint that is better applied to metal figures than plastic ones?What is the best type of paint to use on metal miniatures?
Enamel.





They make decent acrylic based enamel paints that are very durable. Check with one of your local hobby shops or craft stores.

  • Is it possible to stain over paint?

    have lattice that I maybe am going to wish to stain a brown, but I had already painted in an exterior green.





    Will this be possible?





    Thanks for your answers!Is it possible to stain over paint?
    Yes you can. Use a solid color acrylic stain. The brands I like are Sherwin Williams Woodscapes and Cabot Pro VT. I don't recommend Behr. I used it on one project and was not impressed.Is it possible to stain over paint?
    Since you are staining wood, the surface needs to be clean, dry and bare for the stain to sink into the wood and give you the desired effect. I don't think it will be possible to remove the paint from the lattice because of the nooks and crannies. Maybe its best to paint it another color or get some more lattice.
    as stain needs to soak into the wood i would say no it would just wash off
    Probably cheaper and easier to replace it with a wooden one!
    I think you will find the stain will not adhere to the paint. If you sand the paint down first you should be OK, but you will have to sand it well.
    No. It will not work.


    Stain only works on bare wood.


    Maybe you should try brown paint.
    There is a special case of this called a glaze. But you will not get a ';stained wood look,'; you will get a ';glazed paint look.'; (see photo 2 in below link) You also need to use a glaze, not a big box wood stain. Some people use gel stains as a glaze medium.





    You have a couple of options:


    - Faux grain the piece (very difficult on a lattice)


    - Strip, sand, and refinish (very difficult on a lattice)


    - Buy new and start over


    - Live with it


    - Paint it brown.
    Yes, but you will have to give it a few coats.

    Is it safe to sleep in a room that was painted with Pittsburgh Latex paint a couple of hours ago?

    Yes, unless you have some sort of respiratory disease. It will stink though. You might want to spend the night on the couch or in another room, or partially open a window for some fresh air.Is it safe to sleep in a room that was painted with Pittsburgh Latex paint a couple of hours ago?
    No problem at all. The only concern would be the odor and you say there really is none. Sleep safe!

    What is the best color to paint a women's bathroom?

    I get to pick and paint the women's bathroom at my friends new bar, which is actually pretty cool. What are some of the best colors?What is the best color to paint a women's bathroom?
    yellow and whiteWhat is the best color to paint a women's bathroom?
    Well some women like pink and some women likes white......but the best thing u can do is ask your friends what colors do they prefer unless they r all male then it would b best to get an opinion from one of the girl friends who will b working there
    a light blue or green, like the color of the caribbean ocean waters
    light yellow and soft blue
    piss yellow
    foam green!!!
    A nice warm dusty rose.
    I used to go to a movie theater that had a pink or rosy painted ladies' room. The ceiling was the same color -- and it made you look so good in the mirror! Very cheering.
    Hot pink..scarlet red or cerise....add black here and there for a more sophisticated look
    I would go with a light pink or purple and then maybe add some darker colors of the wall color for decoration. You could also go with a them, like in my mom's bathroom the walls are light pink and then she has darker pink wastebasket and a white shower curtain with pink shoes on it with hot pink fuzzy stuff. It all depends on what colors you like too.
    pink or lavender
    Pink blue green purple. If you can paintlike a nice butterfly or a big flower
    Bronzed mirrors. Pale walls, and LOADS of pot plants....


    Makes women feel like tigresses....
    Dusty peach with pale buttery yellow trim.


    .
    I hate pink! How about painting it a nice pale sea glass green and giving it a spa feel?
    burnt orange is the new mauve:-)
    Off white color would be best. It is a bathroom at a bar and will probably not stay nice looking for long. Think about repainting problems if you pick a way out color scheme or touch up painting.
    I painted mine ';creole cottage'; by sherwin williams, with ';nuance'; for the trim. very classy. check it out:

    White the reason i say this is because the bathroom will appear bigger and make boarders of a different color to contrast .. the reason i say white is because you can make the bathroom accent (rugs and such) any color you want and can change them out when you get tired of the accent colors
    Pink. With roses. And Flowers. and Happy bunny rabbits and smiles and HAPPINESS!!!!





    Or that might make some women puke.





    How about just a pale blue and white?
