Thanks all for the advice!
The WD-40 worked pretty well. I was able to remove the pin-sized paint marks outright, and the bigger spots (about half the diameter of a dime) faded significantly.
However, I think I rubbed the leather a bit too hard -- these areas are now slightly faded and...
I love it! It's starting to break in after 6 months of daily use, and it's taking on nice colour variations.
The original thread contains pics of the jacket when it was new:

I'm asking myself the same thing:(
Since taking delivery of the jacket in February, I try to wear it any chance I get to break it in. That means the first thing I do in the morning and when I get home from work is put it on.
I guess I simply forgot to take it off before spray painting . . .
The cafe racer is the brown FQHH. The sleeves on mine are the very dark brown. I tried lightly scraping off some of the tiny paint marks, but they don't come completely off.
Hello all,
So I accidentally splattered some paint on my aero. I was spray painting, and I got 4 or 5 tiny spots on the right sleeve. Any advice on how to remove the paint? Thanks.
I love my Timberland Boot Company counterpane boot. It's actually a splinter company from Timberland. The suede part of the uppers are sourced from CF Stead in the UK, and the leather bits come from none other than Horween...
Ace Rimmer,
VERY nice and congrats!
We had both discussed the merits of various leather jackets over on styleforum.com:

I opted for the Aero Cafe racer myself...
Very nice!:eusa_clap
I think the 2-pocket version looks very clean, and I especially like the way the collar is made.
Is the storm flap on the front something you requested?
I've had my cafe racer for 1.5 months now, and I love everything about it except the way the collar stud presses...
Indeed I have:
I was able to sit on a white one at a motorcycle show and I fell in love with it. I've always been a scooter guy, but lately I've really gotten into cafe racers and other retro-looking bikes. Besides the Guzzi, I also love the Triumph Bonneville and the Royal Enfield Bullet.
Thanks all for the nice comments. :)
I currently ride an aprilia Mojito (aprilia Habana for those of you in Europe). I'd have to say I've always been more into scooters than motorcycles. I've ridden about 10K miles in 2 years on mine. But after seeing the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic at a bike...
Hello all,
Here are pics of my Aero Cafe Racer. They were taken when the jacket was one week old. I got the 4-pocket version, brown FQHH, and nickel/silver zippers in a size 38.
No excuse for the dorky facial expressions.

Thanks for posting Jan.
The pics I've seen and the info I've read on this forum motivated me to buy the Aero Cafe racer (brown FQHH, silver/nickel zips).
You are all evil.
Ordered it on 24 Sep, so hopefully I'll be getting it soon.
Jan, you seem to have too many jackets and I could...
Sammy,
Welcome to a fellow rider (aprilia Mojito custom 150 for me) and fellow future Aero owner. I put in the order for the brown Cafe Racer in FQHH on Sept 24.
Make sure there's no misunderstanding regarding sleeve length. The typical shirt sleeve length on a dress shirt is measured...
