Remove Paint from Trim

11 years ago

Hi,

I recently had the walls of the house I am working on painted. There is oil based Kilz primer and latex Behr paint on the trim. What can I use to remove these without destroying the trim's finish? Also, any suggestions for removing any "splatter" from laminate flooring?

I had a terrible contractor...

Is your trim painted as well? Or is it natural wood?

Getting it off the laminate flooring should be easy - scrape with some sort of plastic scraper, such as a cheap plastic putty knife.
