Seriously, how the heck would you go about cleaning this up? Could it even be saved? That would totally SUCK!
 
Believe it or not I'd take a crack at it, I mean what have you got to lose! Remove the seat and work outdoors.

  1. While the paints still fresh and wet, continue to flood the area with a garden hose and direct stream.
  2. A pressure washer next with a soap nozzle and continue cleaning.
  3. Some scrubbing with soapy hot water
  4. A hot water extractor seems like the next logical step
  5. Continue until the material looks clean..
  6. Let dry then treat
If it's an oil based paint then a barn-fire is in order...Outside the car of course!
 
oh man, does that make you cringe or what? of course, if it was me, the paint would be an oil based enamel. :yikes:

Bingo!! fresh / wet water based paint is not that hard to remove. I'd pull the seats along with what Bobby said above
 
My in-laws live in Mississippi. I drove there a few months ago.
As soon as I crossed the state line into MS my first stop to get gas and this is the first vehicle I saw.
...and yes he used his hood as an ashtray

I would tend to agree with you. The seat belt fasteners have paint on the top of them but not on the back. The paint behind the can also looks suspicious.

Good post to enlist ideas of how to deal with something like this though.
 
Wow what a mess ! I hope I never have to clean that mess up !

Think the hardest part if you could actually remove all the paint out of the fabric, would be to get the paint that is embedded deep in the foam. It might always smell like house paint in there otherwise..

My experiences with seat foam is that it likes to absorb water and not really release it easily because of the density of said foam. So there is the paint/water/liquid cleaner/s deep in the foam and not always wanting to come out.

I am sure it would all dry out of the car eventually, but would the smell go away??

If some store sold me a gallon of paint and didnt hammer the lid down, they would be receiving a huge Detailing/parts/etc., bill from my Insurance carrier!

Agree good to get ideas but with the digital age you can no longer believe what you see in a photo.
I probably would not have thought about that if I had not taken up photography about 4 years ago.

Not all of us in Mississippi are like that... well, most are, but not all. It all depends on the area. The coast is nice, but up twords my area (East Central, Newton County) you hear more banjo's (my neighbor will play one on his front porch, and I live in town!) and see cars like that.

I would agree. The can doesn't look tipped over yet that's a lot of paint on the seats. It would have had to tip completely over to look like that yet there is little paint on the outside of the can. The way the paint is on the seats would also only look like that if the car was on a huge incline descending towards the passenger side (notice how there is little paint where the can is on the driver's side compared to the passenger side).
