Gloss paint on glass?
Does anyone know any way of removing gloss paint from dappled glass other than scraping it off? White spirit doesn’t seem to work. Preferably a home-made concoction please, save me from spending ages scraping it off!

The most effective way that I know was taught to me by a Painter&Decorator I hired once.
Take a sponge scourer (with the nylon scourer that you can use on non stick cookware) make it damp, pour a fine layer of table salt on the abrasive surface – rub the paint firmly to remove.
Should take about 30 seconds to get most of it away and a minute or so to be sure you got the lot.
Very effective!

you could try gently heating it but be carefull you dont want to crack or shatter the glass-this will make it peel rather than scrape!

Hi just spray with one of those cleaning sprays like Mr muscle and use a sponge scourer.Or go to your local diy shop and buy paint stripper.Put on gloves and brush it on it should start to blister the gloss then just wash of with hot soapy water.Hope this helps
