How to remove dried spray paint from clothes?

My husband got a ton of yellow spray paint all over a black shirt (not very smart on his part, but regardless....) and he didn't tell me about it until a few days later. The paint has dried and I was wondering if there was still any possible way to get it out. I've heard rubbing alcohol works, or products will ammonia D, but I don't want to try just some random techniques. Does anyone know any simple, fabric safe (preferably) ideas that would get the paint out? It was a nice shirt.How to remove dried spray paint from clothes?
Soak the fabric in Ice cold water for a few minutes to keep the paint wet and rinse out any paint that is loose.Treat the area with a stain-remover solution, and work the solution into the fabric. Then allow it to soak for a couple of hours. Wash the fabric in cold water using my homemade laundry detergent.(recipe is below)


Check to see if the paint has been removed before putting the fabric into the dryer. If the stain is no longer visible, then go ahead and dry the fabric. If the stain can still be seen, allow the fabric to air dry, and Wash it again, if the stain is still there you'll have to soak the dried paint stain with rubbing alcohol. Allow the stain to soak in the alcohol for several minutes, and then rub it with a clean dry cloth of pick at the dried pain with your finger nail.You can also use hairspray as long as it's aqua net.
