Expert: Tony Gallagher - 10/14/2009
Question
So I was a bit of a sloppy painter and got some paint on the metal frame of the window - what is the best way to remove the paint from the metal frames. Will paint thinner work or is there some sort of paint remover I can get to take it off?
Answer
Amy,
You didn't specify wether the paint you have spilled is water or oil based.
If Oil based then you will have to resort to some chemical remover just be careful not to acid etch the window. If it is water based then household methylated spirits should supponify
(soften) the coating for easy removal.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tony.
