    Car Paint on new seude boots!
    I was using the car paint you use to write on your windows and the top of it broke and spilled it all over me. Spattering it all over my right boot. They're seude and I have no idea what to do! It's only the first time I've ever worn them, they were expensive, and my moms going to kill me if I don't get it out! Please Help! ):

    Paint and suede don't mix. Suede is really, really hard to get stains out of. You may need to take them to someone professional - a dry cleaners?

    I got this from the internet:

    Follow these steps to remove latex paint stains from Leather or Suede:

    * Paint stains may be impossible to remove entirely.
    * Carefully scrape to remove any excess paint. Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water.
    * Swish to create a great volume of suds.
    * Wipe the paint residue with a sponge dipped in only the foam.
    * Wipe with a clean dry cloth.

    Thank you(:
    I tried something similar to that the night it happened, and it faded the paint a bit.
    But I ended up taking them to place that fixes boots and they managed to get the paint out, it's not perfect but they're black again they just look scuffed haha.

    You might be able to get the faded stain out by using a regular pencil easer. I tried this on my boots to remove a stain from hand sanitizer and a tiny coffee stain. It worked really well.

    You can get suede paint that will bring them back to the original colour and they will look new again, rather than scuffed. Black is agood colour to repair, but you'll have to use it on both boots.

    Most shoe stores sell it, if not try a craft store.

    And pick up a can of suede protector while you are there, you just spray it on your boots and it helps repel water and other liquids.
