    Try and get as much paint off as possible with a scraper then dabble some Nitromors on it to shift the rest ?

    I again would advise strongly as a layman NOT to use nitromors,I use it at work and the P.P.E we have to wear is unbelieveable BUT needed,this stuff burns like hell if you get it on you and will mark anything it may drip on,

    go for the softer option,after scraping off as much as you can use ordinary nail varnish remover and gently scrub it on with a nylon scourer,you may have to do it a few times but it is by far the safer option

  • I've always found that an ordinary woodworking chisel does the job very well. Just make sure the blade is VERY sharp ( resharpen it regularly ), and don't apply too much pressure - hardly any, in fact. It should scrape the paint off very easily.
