+ Restoration Tricks and Tips
Removing...
the following tip comes from The_Green_Monkey...
"I haven't
had too much experience testing this, so it
may not work across the board (haha get it?),
in fact I suspect that it's probably a case-by-case
solution depending on the type of offending
paint, but I was able to get rid of some black
spray paint that was all over the bottom on
one of the Grosso "Toyboxes" I'm
working on by lightly scratching at the paint
with the corner of a razor blade, and then
once a little furrow was gouged in the paint,
scraping/shaving it off with the blade. Some
places required harder initial scratching
than others, and there were a few spots where
I scratched the graphics and/or wood too,
and the graphics underneath weren't left in
pristine condition anyway, but I'll get to
them later either way, and what I have now
is a lot better than dealing with an undercoat
of black spray paint would have been had I
just left it alone. "
