Removing paint from clothing

I got WHITE paint on one of my dark greek letter sweatshirts that we are supposed to wear on certain occasions.

I just washed it and it did not come off at all.

Is it possible to remove it?

If so, with what?

I heard Sprite works on wet paint....I used some to get it out of my clothes when I worked on a Homecoming banner....it did get most of it out.

Any decent dry cleaner should be able to get most of it out, depending on how thick it is and how old the spot is. If it's not much, you should be fine. They have a chemical called pyratex that works to dissolve the paint pretty well. Works on white out too

It's dried streaked paint.

Take it to the dry cleaner.

There is a product called oops or goo. I forget which gets paint out. Maybe the dry cleaner will work. I accidentally got paint on the seat of a new pair of pants. I was very light. After a few washings, the paint came out.
