Got a great deal on these so I had to pick them up. I have been looking for a pair for a while....Only problem was the seller let them sit in this outdoor garage type area so they were really dirty so when I got them home I got a rag and was scrubbing them as hard as I could to get all the dirt off....then parts started peeling off the back. The i recall the seller telling me I could spray paint the seats. Im thinking thats what he did....cuz leather doesnt peel like that. I am going to attempt to take the power wash to the seats to clean them really good. I hope this doesnt damage them... what do you guys think? Here are some pics

Would have to use 1000 or even higher. Just enough to knock the paint off without hurting the leather. I'd start in a small inconspicuous area. That or paint thinners and removers, but those would dry out the leather. If it were me I'd try wet sanding first. Found this searching Google: http://www.leatherique.com/prepping.htm Details how to restore automotive leather. Of course that was restoring and not knocking off paint. But help give an idea as to what may be needed.
