Paint are another animal. Especially oil based paints. Alcohol, Acetone, or Toluene or Xylene are commonly used to thin glues and paints. But they can have side effects on a boat carpet. They also make a product that's similar to "lighter Fluid" and it suppose to help remove ink and bubble gum from stuff. It's called "Goof Off" which will lift off dried latex paint pigments.
Vinegar is a weak acid and can be used to clean stuff. Baking Soda is a weak base and also can be used to clean things. But they may not be able to remove dried on oil based paint on a boat carpet.
The company may know what to use to remove the paint from your boat carpet. Try calling them and seeing what they say. They know what's in the paint and what type of thinner they used and they must report the materials used on the Material Safety Data Sheet by law.
