Default Re: HELP Please! Nitromors on plastic bath

it might not be the best idea but why not try a tiny bit of nitromoors on one of the stains ?

Best I can suggest:

On an inconspicuous corner of the bath see if Nitromors will dissolve the plastic the bath is made from. If so you might be in some trouble because the paint is probably fused to the bath and you may have to sand smooth and repaint.

If not I'd consider using a spot of nitromors to soften the paint up again, then scraping it off with an old knife. Use kitchen towel dipped in nitromors to remove the last traces. (oh, and don't forget to wear gloves).

Keith.

Vodka will fix that.

Take the bottle of Vodka, drink 1/2 of it and you won't be worried about the bath anymore...

OK will try more nitromors. Homeopathic 'medicine' relies on treating like with like, so here goes

What about brake fluid, its less agressive than nitromors at removing paint, takes longer so should be a bit milder, albeit never tried it on a bath.

Well that didn't work . Made the plastic go soft and I could scrape some paint off with a blade but it actually took the whole surface off. I'm giving up for today and will cheer myself up by arranging the nice new fluffy towels and bathmats instead. In the morning I'll go and find another type of paint stripper that might shift the paint but leave the plastic.

It it really possible to paint a bath though? A plastic one? I know you can paint new enamel onto an enamel one, but plastic? If so I might give it a go.
