How do I get paint off the led in the stain glass door?

[IncaDove]

I’m planning to strip this door and paint it a colour more in keeping with the house. The previous owner has just slapped some white paint on it which is all over the led.

I was going to buy a chemical paint stripper to do the whole door but will it be ok to use it on the led?

If anyone has any suggestions on the best way, or a better way, to do it I’d be very grateful!

The best and safest way is to use a chemical stripper. This product binds the paint particles and doesn’t create loads of dust. Keep in mind that lead is toxic, so you want to be in close contact with it as little as possible.

^the above is about removing paint off lead flashing, but lead is lead, so the same should apply. There are paint strippers now that you paint on and press a film on top and then you peel it off in a sheet. That might be the way to go so you aren’t scraping the lead too much.

Thank you. That is really helpful information. I hadn't thought about the lead being toxic so that is another consideration!

Klingstrip might be good for this. It's a paint stripper which is a sort of paste. These are the hush who make it
They are very helpful if you have any questions
