Default Paint Smell in Interior

So i just bought an 81 Chevy K20 Scottsdale for 500 bucks. The interior is in mint condition but the previous owner left an old rattle can in the tray behind the seat and it leaked all over so now the interior stinks like autobody paint. Any ideas how to get rid of the smell?

When the cat takes a dump in the kitty litter, sometimes it stinks so bad, I have to spray fabreze in the kitty litter

well it worked. After a couple days of spraying and sitting, the interior officially no longer smells like paint and smells like fabreze instead
