Paint remover is a chemical solution formulated to dissolve and strip away old paint, varnish, or finishes from surfaces, preparing them for refinishing or repainting. Available in liquid, gel, and paste forms, paint removers are applied with a brush or roller to penetrate the old finish. After a few minutes, the paint softens and can be easily scraped off with a scraper, revealing the clean surface beneath.

Paint removers are commonly used in restoration projects where stripping old finishes is necessary to expose original wood or metal. Depending on the strength and type of paint remover, it can be used on wood, metal, masonry, and other surfaces. Gel and paste formulas are especially helpful for vertical applications, as they cling to surfaces without dripping, allowing better control and reducing mess.

Paint removers often contain chemicals that require careful handling, so protective gloves and proper ventilation are essential. Newer eco-friendly options are also available, providing similar effectiveness with reduced fumes. This product is a key tool for those looking to revitalize old furniture, doors, or other painted surfaces.
