Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I bought a bike about 10 years ago that was an amateur restoration and I’m finally getting around to fixing it. The previous “restoration expert” decided to paint the beautiful leather saddle!!! I don’t want to hurt the leather underneath so I’m slowly chipping it away with the corner of a razor blade and you can see I haven’t gotten very far in way too much time. This sucks but it’s part of the journey. If anyone has any suggestions to speed this up with out harming the leather in all ears. I’m trying to stay away from solvents because I hate the mess.

Ride it. Wear old pants.
 
Perhaps a pressure wash would work to get under that paint.
I'm thinking coin-op car wash for a quick try. No soap to be safer
The leather is waterproof and will deserve a treatment regardless after any reveal.
No guarantee and no liability with regards to my ideations.
