    Bev. I have never found a good way to remove the paint on fabric lampshades. If it is truly awful, you might just have to repaint. Sorry. I Hope someone can be of further use. sk

    If the shade is polyester - try washing it.

    Hi,

    Well it can't get any worse! Soak it in warm water and a drop of washing up liquid overnight. That should moisten the paint enough to loosen it off the fabric. Keep sponging it off gently until gone. Let it dry when happy and then start again, or this time recover. Hope it works for you.
