    Wrong section.
    But specify the paint type? Acrylic? Many art stores sell removers, it'll never get the entire stain off, but enough so its not noticeable. If it's fabric paint, you're shit out of luck, but you can paint over it with a matching tone to the leather. Most others paints get off when you soak it in water for an hour or two and scrub it gently with dish-soap.

    It's very important to use paints meant for fabric, and this brand is the easiest to find.
    I know people who tried to be slick and use paints meant for houses and it may look vibrant at first but it's not meant to bend and move once it's dried so you start shedding. Same with using acrylic paint, might look great at first but it'll age really fast because it's meant to be on indoor canvases, not coats that get worn outdoors, sweated all over, and possibly washed.

    It doesn't damage the leather? I have that fake leather and it made it the material chip, but it does makes sense that real cow hide would be OK with it.

    Oh no, maybe in the long run, but it doesn't start dissolving right away. I can imagine it wouldn't work very well on fake leather.

    Can you make paint out of ants?? that'd be wierd. What ncsplw said about cowhide not being affected makes sense, it doesnt't affect our skin that much. But your leather is probably a cured and processed thing and I have no knowledge in the chemistry of it but I'd try it why not, not going to last forever anyways
