How do I get rid of paint from dark denim jeans without losing the actual color of the jeans?

I have a pair of dark denim jeans and unfortunately i got splatters of white paint on them while painting my room. At first I considered it to look pretty cool, but now i'm pretty much sick of it and want to get back to regular looking jeans cause they're pretty nice. So do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of the paint itself?

1. I think you're outta luck buddy. Getting paint out of jeans without messing up the jeans is hard. I still have sweatpants from a couple years ago with paint on them and they've been washed dozens upon dozens of times.
2. Try a strong alcohol like vodka. I had this happen to mine with red paint, and I used a dab of Absolut vodka on a paper towel and removed a good bit of it. Then I used a pre wash spot remover (i.e. oxyclean, shout, etc.) and let it sit for 10 minutes or so. Wash it in warm water, you shouldn't lose any color if they've been washed before. And before you put them in, pour a bit of the washing detergent over the spot to concentrate the cleaning there. If you happen to lose a bit of color in that area, you can buy blue dye at any supermarket that you can conceal that area with. Good luck, with some hard work, you can get it out.
