Ways to remove oil based paint?

Question

Hello!!

I have a big problem (kind of!)

I'm in the process of painting my bathroom (a light green)

anddddd....I'm not the best painter in the world.

I kind of did a really sloppy job, and got paint all over the woodwork (trim) and all over the vinyl floors, and countertops.

Can someone tell me how to get it off of these surfaces?

THe stains are a couple of days old. I've been trying to get them out forever.

Please name some products in which I can use..and where I can purchase these.

Thanks so much!!!!

Answer 1

kleen-strip sells a stripper that ive had pretty good luck with. go to Ace or Lowes. Remember that the best strippers are the most volitile. You need lots of ventelation. if not, try the water stuff and get some good sandpaper. on stuff where the manu. does not recomend application, like a counter top, carefully use a paint scraper/ razor. you could also try laquer thinner as a solvent

Answer 2

Hello,
I just use plain ol' mineral spirits, it's cheap, effective, and dries leaving no residue.
Hope this helps,
