Members Timmmm Posted yesterday at 08:09 PM Members Report Posted yesterday at 08:09 PM 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??? Quote
Members DieselTech Posted yesterday at 09:10 PM Members Report Posted yesterday at 09:10 PM Lol is this a joke? Cause I am not seeing the bad spot you mentioned. BTW that looks great! Nice work. Quote
Members DieselTech Posted yesterday at 09:12 PM Members Report Posted yesterday at 09:12 PM Ah! I think i finally spied it. I think if you antique it, then top coat it. It will no longer be visible. Quote
Members Timmmm Posted yesterday at 09:18 PM Author Members Report Posted yesterday at 09:18 PM Thank you. No seriously. Lol. It’s a friggin pink spot in the word pink! Ra help me. Lol Quote
Members BlackDragon Posted yesterday at 09:25 PM Members Report Posted yesterday at 09:25 PM 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. Quote
Members Timmmm Posted yesterday at 09:40 PM Author Members Report Posted yesterday at 09:40 PM 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. Quote

Members Handstitched Posted 14 hours ago Members Report Posted 14 hours ago 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 .

CFM chuck123wapati Posted 8 hours ago CFM Report Posted 8 hours ago 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.
