HELP Please! Nitromors on plastic bath

[Messie]

I've done something stupid. I stripped the paint off the windowsill above my bath with nitromors, not taking enough care about where the melted paint scrapings fell.

Now I've come to clean it all up after finishing the new painting and papering, I find that I've got nasty orange melted paint in splodges over my plastic bath.

So far I've tried turps, nail varnish remover, a scourer and scouring cream, and even oven cleaner, but nothing has worked.

So, any other suggestions, not including get a new bath???

Oh heck! Is it staining to your bath or paint stuck to it? If it is staining, will strong bleach work to remove the colour? If it is paint, can you scrape it away with a sharp thin blade?

If it is really bad, can you get the bath sprayed out with a protective finish that will cover it up?

[Messie]

More like the paint is stuck to it. I've tried picking at it but that doesn't work.

Not sure about spraying it

what type of bath is it!!! scratching the bath and using something like turps will damage your bath if its glass fiber.


probably the best option is to rub the entire bath down and repaint!!!! post a pic up tho and maybe we can advis better!

[Messie]

It's only a cheapo plastic one. Nothing I've tried yet has touched it - or the wretched paint!

Rub it down and repaint???? Seems a bit drastic

pic!!

please

turps? but i would have thourght it would kill the bath?

[Messie]

OK here you go




and some of the stuff I've tried

[maviczap]

White spirit is supposed to neutralise Nitromoors

white spirit or a bit of turps (but whipe it on and off very quickly and rinse) it may make the bath go cloudy tho so test it forst.

[Messie]

I've tried both and no joy or damage. I think the problem is I did it days ago and now it's well and truly dried, welded, itself to my bath.

Not happy
