How do I remove black paint from an antique kitchen table?
I found an otherwise nice kitchen table and six chairs at an estate sale for $60. The problem…they painted it in an unknown type of black paint. Do I need to know what type of paint it is before starting the refinishing process? How do I find that out?
Had a shop when I came across esp black paint I would always get the client to sign off on the possibility that though I could remove the paint there might be noticeable residue.
Not all bad…….esp if it is an older hardwood set & originally had a clear finish which helps release the paint.
Does not matter what kind of paint it is.
One of the heavy paste strippers would be best since it does not “melt “the paint & takes it off in relatively dry patches that can be lifted off rather than scraped & scrubbed which generally makes things worse.
OK to use a gel ,liquid stripper or mineral spirits , fine steel or bronze wool & plenty of rags as a “cleanup” ..
When any paint residue gets into bare wood , “its in there” & getting it out entirely without damaging the wood is almost impossible even w/ commercial strippers.
Trying to “sand” it out will make things worse & if you intend to stain & use a natural finish will look uneven.
Finishing is a whole other story.
Might look for tinted finishes in spraycans that will allow for
feathering over uneven color if you do end up w/ blemished surfaces.
Best regards
