My eight year-old son was playing football in the local park and kicked his ball over a neighbour's wall. Squeezing himself between the gate and the wall, he went in to retrieve his ball, but returned home covered in black, oily paint.
The kit he was wearing has great sentimental value (it was Karpaty Lviv - from Ukraine), and now it is destroyed.
Do you know if there is any way of removing the paint from the clothing?
[And while we're at it, are there any regulations governing how a private citizen uses anti-climb paint?]
A solvent like white spirit may do the trick, followed by a normal wash. I assuming it's a synthetic top though, so it may be a gonner.

I used it on my parents garage roof to stop kids going on their.
Brake cleaner , I don't think solvents come better. Kill or cure.
Might kill your washing machine as well so be careful.
I'd try a home brew boil wash.
wot vongassit said.
Dry-cleaning maybe.
Wash it in white spirit or diesel then go straight on to detergent and hot water.
Or tell your son not to trespass!
I was going to say - I'd be more concerned with teaching your son regulations regarding trespassing rather than see if you can cause an issue with a neighbour using anti-climb paint...
Indeed. If his son cruises around on his dad's horse the 2m minimum paint height won't make any difference anyway...
😉
1st try vegetable oil, soak it in a bucket 1st then wash by hand using whatever washing detergent ( but use cold water) and expect to repeat many times

What regulations? It's a civil matter isn't it?
