How to get paint out of clothes?
I have white paint on the shirt I got from my Uncle. When he was my age (A long time ago) He got white paint on the shirt and the paint brand and type is unknown. WD40 Could not get it out. It also for sure is paint. THe T-Shirt is 100% cotton made by: Gildan Active Ware Ultra Cotton Heavywright.

Maybe give some free advice about: Cleaning?
If the paint has been there for years and has been washed multiple times, you're probably not going to get the paint out. You can try Varsol, but it may not work if the paint has been there for a long time.

It depends on what kind of paint it is - are we talking acryllic? Latex? Oil-based paint? Watercolors?
Latex and acryllic, you're stuck trying to peel the paint off the cotton fibers - you likely won't have anything to dissolve it.
Oil-based, paint thinner should do the trick, but be careful.
Watercolors will wash out on their own with detergent.
I'm sure there are other forms of paint that will fall somewhere on the spectrum of paints listed above.
