Help, Please!

I came across this. I've also used vegetable oil. It works in breaking down the paint.
Good Luck!!!!!!

Okay, funny people, crisis averted!
And, yes, he DID look funny, so I can't blame you for snickering…I'd'a done the same! No, I did not get a picture, I was in complete panic mode! Truly!
I was so worried about him licking the paint off (which he tried to do after wiping himself off on the grass...much to the hysterical amusement of our painter...now fired (just kiddin'!)) and poisoning himself, my only concern was get it off, Get It Off, GET IT OFF!!
Anyways, although it's a good suggestion for removing oil-based paint, I didn't try the peanut butter because it's one of Mag's favorite treats, and I didn't think a paint/peanut butter mixture would "sit well."
So, I used a dish soap with a degreasing agent, namely, Dawn. Worked a charm, pretty much. He got three baths in a row (hose baths, COLD water), so you can imagine that Magnum was NOT a happy camper, but we got most of the paint off, especially from the places he could lick. I just kept telling him, in my best, comforting Mommy voice, "Stop wiggling! You brought it on yourself, NoseyBoy!" 'Course I wasn't gonna admit to him that I knew it was MY fault! Shhh! Don't tell him!
BTW, the paint was a lovely brownish-reddish-gray, which didn't go so spectacularly with his beautiful chestnut red and white.
Here's a pic of what's left around his eye, which was coated in paint:
After doing about 7 million b-500's, he's finally settled down. Doesn't much like that Moms is checking him every few minutes… Thanks for all the suggestions!

Hmm…. I would "bet not".....gggg;)
And you'd win! This morning, Magnum followed me down to the laundry room where I had put some painted-up towels I used last night to get off a lot of the paint when it first happened. Luckily, I was able to grab them up just as he got into position to throw himself down and roll on them. (I trashed them after getting them as clean as I could.) He just loves rolling in stuff that's smelly, whether it's a good smell or a bad smell! He may have learned a lesson, but it's obviously not one that's gonna stop him from rolling in smelly stuff!
He seems to be okay even after getting several licks of paint in, no tummy problems, his usual laid-back self. Eating and drinking well.
