Question Does anyone know how get roof paint out of clothes?

I have been painting my roof with green roof paint and I accidently managed to get a dab on the sleeve of my top. Before I attempt to remove it and end up making it worse, I wondered if anyone knows what the best solution is? It's a pink cotton top. Thanks

If its oil based which if it is roof paint then I would assume it was due to the waterproof side of it, then good old white spirit normally does the trick for me when I use oil based paints.

It's not oil based. It's Acrylic, and therefore water-based. DO NOT put white spirit on it.

You need to wash it out using warm, soapy, water BEFORE it dries. If it dries, you have next to no chance, as acryilic turns into plastic and will be knitted into the fabric to boot.... so you'll have to use it as a painting shirt in future.

Funny enough kirsty, was going to give the other solution if it was water based, just use water!!! Beat me to it!

Sorry, anyway you know what to use now if you have an oil based paint!!!
