Scrub the garment with turpentine. This will get rid of any oil paint. Of course the clothing will need a thorough wash afterwards to get rid of the turpentine smell. There is also this awesome product called kiss off!! When I paint with oils I tend to get it everywhere and it always gets rid of the stains!

If you are trying to wash clothes that have been spray painted it is possible to wash without losing the art. You will just need to wash the items in cold water with a little detergent and that should do the trick.

Depends on what kind of "spray paint" we are talking here. You mean spray paint that comes in cans? Like the ones used in graffiti?

If the shirt is to be worn (I'd imagine so) I am not sure the use of spray paint (as in those that come in can) is safe to use at all. The chemicals used in such paints are usually toxic and hazardous to your health. Not something you'd want against your skin.

I am not aware of any spray paint brand that can be used for that purpose.

However, you can rent or buy an inexpensive airbrush with compressor and use regular fabric paint. This way you won't need to worry about toxicity or the possibility of it washing off the shirt.

You can also take a look on a lot of fabric paint types and tools available in craft stores that might give you the effect you want, for less money and less trouble.

Goof Off will remove almost any paint from clothing. Dip a rough rag in Goof Off and rub on the spot, it will loosen in minutes. Then wash it in warm water.
