is there anything that can get black permanent paint off of a white shirt? Thank you!

Removing permanent paint from clothes is quite hard - as the word 'permanent' in the title suggests!

To try to remove permanent paint, scrape off any excess wet paint first with a knife.

In fact your only hope of getting rid of most is to scrape gently and try not to remove all the fabric.

One thing you could try with paint stains on shirts is to get a little dry cleaning solvent to see if it can dissolve the paint.

If so then great - then wash as normal!
