Removing The Paint From A Vase


Recommended Posts

I saw a post awhile back where I think Joytron might have removed the paint from his vase by accident. Can anyone direct me to the right thread or provide some information on this? I tried searching relentlessly but came up with nothing :(

acetone should take anything off with a little scrubadubdub action.

like some one else said try the dishwasher first. ive heard that works.

as far as painting it agian. i have tried the expensive Krylon paint that they say works on glass and all it does is make a rubber coating ontop of the glass. It just peals off. I have also tried this junk

it wont even brush onto glass. It would take about 5-6 layers of paint to get a opaque look. but that would look like shit too bc you have 6 layers of paint on it...

If you re-paint that base please please please let me know if you find anything that works... I have a battal base, fom Hungary, that i stripped and cant get anything to stick to it now
