Paint Removal on Luftwaffe Green Drillich

[David Fettes]

Hi all,

I have this Luftwaffe green drillich jacket which has been used at some point in time to do a bit of painting. Are there any ways of removing the paint at all?

I have used a very sharp knife to gently shave the surface of cloth items to remove
some paint drops this works best on paint that has not soaked in to the cloth. it looks like a lot of paint has soaked in on you're tunic so it may help but not get the big spots out.

I will also use a sharp knife and after, I will try first with "thinner" and if it doesn't work enough, I'll try with acétone. Good luck

Have purchased some acetone and will try a small area this week.
