Black paint mystery?!

Tandy leather Corp. bottles up acetone, calls it leather cleaner and sells it as just that. Fingernail polish can be had in many % variations and some with a pleasant scent. Plus the bottles are better for storage. Let us know how it works! I use it all the time.

I would try careful scrubbing with 0000 steel wool. Do not apply much pressure. Try it on a belt loop first. I have removed paint and wax this way. Just ,go slow and easy. Bill is correct. Used lightly, 0000 steel wool can be effective. I have even used 2000 grit sandpaper on occasion.
