Hi, I've been asked today if I could clean paint specks off some brown plastic frames, the house has just been painted. I tried a non scratch pad which worked but is a little time consuming. Anyone got a better way? Thank you in advance. Duncan

Get yourself a couple of these, easy peasy!

I think that's a case of run forest run.

I've yet to find an easy way to clean paint, and especially spots of paint, off of frames that doesn't take a ridiculous amount of time - scraper or no scraper.

If it's a water based masonry paint then careful use of a house hold steam cleaner works well well.     If it's oil / resin based masonry paint or oil based gloss...dynamite ?

tbh, the way you've suggested is probably best (with a bit of white spirit)
I would'nt trust myself with a scraper on a plastic frame !
But as most have said......run, unless you are going to get paid really well for it.

If its water based just use pure water because it strips car paint off.

Thanks for all the replies, run it is then :-)

Scraper with soapy solution sprayed on so the blade glides on the plastic frame but you have got to be very  careful , Or white spirit on a cloth maybe a safer option if you are no good with a scraper . Mike
