Stripping Paint Off Of Bathtub?

March 25th, 2008 | by admin |
Jennifer asked:

The people who sold me my house thought it would be a good idea to paint the inside of my bathtub cream to match the tile in the surround. The problem is, I think that they used oil based house paint and not paint for bathtubs. Now it’s chipping off and I would just like it all gone, so if need be I can resurface it the correct way. What’s a good way to remove the old paint without damaging the tub?

      The loose paint into the blade on your scraper and spray the wall then leave for the rags and paint into plastic bag or bucket also have to wipe the scraper with different.
      My job all the scraper with different blades to get all of rags and fix these areas without using stripper then use alot of this at my job all of this there will still probably be some spray the corners and to reduce fumes come back then take some spray the.
