How do I remove this spot? I got a bit of paint on it and I tried acetone. Then I added a drop of oil. Now it looks pink. What do I do?

I also plan on antiquing this.  Maybe it will cover it up a bit???

Lol is this a joke? Cause I am not seeing the bad spot you mentioned.

Ah! I think i finally spied it. I think if you antique it, then top coat it. It will no longer be visible.

Is it the area in between the P and I?

Antiquing may hide it. It looks like it got a little burnished so if it doesnt work the first time try slightly roughing up that area and try antiquing again.

Yes. Between the P and the I. It’s such an eyesore. I’m hoping once the drop of oil soaks in overnight and it is what it will be I can then scrape it maybe and re-oil??? Maybe?  It’s a diabetic test kit for my brother. I’m hoping to remove it but if not, well, it’s my brother. lol.

Try, very, very carefully, dabbing and rubbing the spot with cellulose thinners

I think that would be the best way and maybe add a couple more to give it a little extra character.

It took me a while to spot it too. Only a leather worker would pick it up, but I 'd think  the average  person wouldn't see it. But as suggested,  antiquing might do the trick .

Part of the problem is that you have also burnished it by rubbing on it.  My only suggestion is to make a few more around on the wall and make it look intentional, it will add some texture and difference to the background. 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
