    Removing dried paint from fabric?

    Any suggestions?

    (I think it's a dried acrylic wash that I need to remove from a screened polyester knit.)

    What would dissolve dried acrylic?

    How fresh is it? you may be able to flake some off with just a fingernail.
    Fresh, not from concentrate.

        I'd use a decent spot remover (like Shout) and soak it overnight.
        That's assuming there are no other colors you're trying to save on the fabric.

        Avoid actual bleach, though. Bleach will probably remove the color, but will damage the fabric as well.
