Is it possible to remove a paint streak from Bridle?

[JerseyFirefighter]

Hey folks! Hope the holiday season is treating you well. I have a strap that i'd rather not have to start over again and was wondering if there was anything natural or chemical that can remove the remnants of an angelus paint streak from bridle. I removed the offending paint smear but im left with a small remnant of paint seemingly soaked into the leather. Id rather not have to remake this for such a small blemish, so I wondered if there was anything to help get it out. Thanks for any tips. It's a saddle tan color bridle if it matters. Have a great weekend!

Removing it entirely will be a challenge. You could try paint thinner, spot remover, deglazer or acetone, but be aware that these will likely leave a light spot because it will remove oils as wel.   With a Q-tip you might be able to mostly keep the solvent touching just the painted area, and after it dries you'll want to apply some conditioner. You can minimize the effect but it's difficult to entirely remove and return the leather to how it was.

Thank you for your input. I think i tried acetone on black once upon a time and did look a little discolored compared to the rest of the finish. I may want to take the time and order the spot remover and deglazer so I have it on hand. Much appreciated.
