Removal of gloss paint form melamine kitchen doors

ioscorpio

Any ideas please to remove gloss paint from kitchen cupboard doors, I had stupidly tried to paint the handles without removing them first, so got some splashes paint on the doors as well. I am now changing handles for aluminium ones from Argos.

Hubby says
You can remove it with Nitromors or Mangers paint stripper (water washable), put a cloth over your finger (wear rubber glove) and just dip it in and apply to the spots for just a few seconds to soften the paint, then wipe clean, but do not leave on the melamine too long as it is not kind to plastic surfaces if you do. Wash the surface afterwards with water with a drop of fairy liquid in it.

It's amazing what vinegar can do.
So have you removed your paint splashes with it successfully ?
Or did you try the method recommended by my hubby ?

Thanks, I'm going to give the vinegar a try first

Try a razor blade.
