Refurbishing the Interior on Old Bird

[Ernie Ekberg]

Jack, I suspect that the PO used Kilz to neutralize the surface. You might try a paint remover in a small area first. In one of our rentals we had hardwood floors under the carpet. The previous remodeler decided to not cover those floors when painting. I bouight a gallon of stripper and applied it like the directions. But I did not let it set too long. As soon as the paint was starting to bubble, I scraped it off. Tedious, for sure.

We have the paper off, but there is some type of thin white paint on the wall. What can we use to remove this that will not affect the "Natural Wood" factory finish? Paint Thinner, Alchol, Acatone, or Laquer thinner come too mind... What to use that will not dissolve the factory finish?? Sanding will work, but it is very slow, and there is the danger that it will gouge the finish. Has anyone covered these areas with anything that looks good, and if so, what? Jack Smith 1973FC31 SoCal
