Could one utilize a steam iron for such a task?

Justin when I first read the problem that is the first idea that popped in to my mind.  However I have zero experience with a steamer so I didn't want to mention it.  Glad you did.

By the way, you said you have "always had good luck with the steamer".  Is this a common problem... people getting paint on their leather?

I've probably cleaned paint off of leather 8-9 times.  I come across a lot more people getting ink on their leather.

I bet if you drive to Tampa my pops would give you a weekend on the beech for a sweet deal.  :redneck:

So how do you remove ink from leather?? I have it on my rear seat in the Denali that I just bought. I was thinking about just having the leather spray dyed.

Try something easy first, how about hair spray....


what leather products do you have now?

I already had it sprayed. That works pretty well.
