Re: Removing Paint
I found this product online called "Miracle Eraser" - it's supposed to take the paint off of wood w/o the sanding or harsh chemicals .......I haven't tried it yet, but I have a kitchen full of cabinets the owner painted this horrid color blue ........
Other than that, it's the basic strip, sand, strip, sand .........it takes FOREVER !!!

Re: Removing Paint
if it's latex based paint it shoudn't be too hard to get it off. I would not use chemical b/c it will strip the finish.

it is basic latex paint. nothing fancy.

Use the rough side of a sponge.

Re: Removing Paint
If there are large drops a “light” scrap with a finger nail or scraper once the paint is dry should get it up. If there are many small drops a damp sponge should work. Don't use a lot of water.

Re: Removing Paint
We got most of ours up just with a wet towel. The thicker drops I just scraped off with my nails.
