removing paint from leather seats

My S203 was previously owned by a painter, and has small blotches of white paint all over the interior. I have tried rubbing some olive oil and some amberklene solvent and having no luck. Not able to get an edge and pick the paint off either.

Does anyone have any other ideas I could try?

TIA

Depends on what type of paint.

Other things I would try include baby oil and paint thinner. Try on a hidden part of the seat first to make sure you don't accidentally remove the dye or dissolve anything.

If those don't work, I'd try lacquer thinner next followed by acetone. These may dissolve your seats though, so be careful.
