What is the best way to remove paint from UPVC windows?

ok, this is what I did when i did it:





i got a piece of cloth (preferably cotton) and some white spirit





put the w.s. on the cloth (just some old clothing) %26amp; then it was a cvase of elbow grease.





it is possible to buy a machine if the area you want to remove isn't too close to the glass. there's a machine that heats up the paint %26amp; then allows you to scrape off the paint. It's still hard work but the good (and the bad) thing is the hardest bits of paint can be just molten off rather than having to use all that muscle and sandpaper. unfortunately if you have UPVC (as i now read that you do!) that's not really an option because you'll melt the glass and its frame.





the more pracical option for you is sandpaper, or a sanding machine or the white spirit i'm afraid.





if you had an impressionable kid stored somewhere you could promise them lots of money (拢5 $?)) to do the hard grind. if you're married and your spouse is stupid that could work too!!


:-}What is the best way to remove paint from UPVC windows?
the glass or the plastic??


kind of paint??What is the best way to remove paint from UPVC windows?
spirit base cleaner
if on the glass wait till dry and scrape off with a knife or razor blade for gloss, if a water based emulsion warm water and elbow grease should do the job, the same for the upvc frames
