Cowhides are mainly used in the Crafting Skill. You can take your cowhides (up to 27 at a time) and get them turned into Leather & Hard Leather and From that you can craft them into items (if you have the correct crafting level that is) things you can craft range from little gloves right up to Dragon Hide Items (members)
If it is necessary to paint a hair-on cowhide rug, use spray paint for fabric. If latex or oil paint is used it will make the rug stiff and sticky.
Years ago I used a bicarbonate soda and kerosene mix, rubbed into the hide every 2 days for 3 weeks. I can't remember the quantities but the mix was like a soft mush, not too moist. First nail the hide flesh side up on a large board. Scrape off all fat and then rub it the mixture. Make sure you go right to the edges. Each day you'll feel the hide softening. After about 3 weeks, if the hide feels supple, scrape off the build up of bicarb then wash the hide. Soapy water's fine for this. Take out the nails and remove the hide from the board. Hang in the air to dry.
Yes, turpentine is a gum spirit and is an extracted oil. It is soluble in oil and thus can thin almost any type of oil based paint, especially when the paint is wet. Paints with an acrylic base polymer do not respond well to this solvent and the best way to remove it is by scrapping it off/using some form of abrasion. However, turpentine is a very strong solvent and can damage the natural fibers of certain types of leather, ex: lambskin, suede. Cowhide and other tough leathers should be able to withstand it. Always test a small sport first, and use either diluted turpentine or as little as possible and wipe off within seconds, reapplying a little each time--you don't want it to soak into the leather, which harms more than helps it. After all the paint is removed, moisturize the leather with leather lotion or neatsfoot oil. Do not use silicone polishes, mineral oil or other oils. Waxes like carnuba wax or beeswax can restore the shiny surface.
