    Paint removal on a tunic

    Does anyone have any opinions or recommendations on the removal of paint from a tunic? A collector offered me a 3rd pattern Heer tropical tunic with paint spots on the back and I am curious about removing the spots.
    Thanks, Stephen

      Hi 44stephen, I agree with Chris. If that is old oil based paint it is almosst impossible to remove. If it is a old type of a paint wash it my come out a bit lighter in tone. If you really don't know I would truthfully leave it alone. In the world of conservation I do not know of anybody attempt this process. Paul
