How do you wash outdoor paint out of denim overalls and an adidas jacket/shorts?

any ideas...because i really like these items clean...How do you wash outdoor paint out of denim overalls and an adidas jacket/shorts?
could try rubbing alcohol...works on latex...If it is a natural material like wool or cotton...lacquer thinner...sparingly...just dab with a cotton ball, get it to break down with a hard edge...you still may have to wash it a few times....I used to take my painters clothes to a commercial laundry...80 cents a pound took 80% of the paint out (Hmmm...wonder what 100 cents would do) I think they used a lye soak...can't be specific about how to do that except that it's caustic and thus dangerous.How do you wash outdoor paint out of denim overalls and an adidas jacket/shorts?
Gee, try using turpentine or some other kind of paint solvent. It should be safe for the denim but the other stuff may not be 100% cotton. You'd have to soak the stained bit for a couple of days and then wash wash wash because it will stink of turpentine. Good luck.
Sorry your stuck with it.
