Removing paint from perspex

[andrewbartlett]

I have some old paint splodges on the perspex windows of my boat from a previous dwnership. Does anyone know how these can be removed without spoiling the perspex?

If all else fails, use a window scraper and then polish out any scratches.

Depends what sort of paint. Caustic soda should be OK and will take off many paints but not poly or epoxy.

Caustic soda solution will be safe on perspex (but only safe on polycarbonate if relatively dilute)

I'd be inclined to try a razorblade almost flat to the surface & try to lift the paint off, any scratches will be fine & should polish out.

You could try to get a hold of Yellow paint remover from a company called SoSafe - we use it for Graffiti removal there is a UK reseller based near Manchester. It is safe to use on Perspex. Let me know if you can't find them as I can check through older e-mails to locate their details...

Cheers Keith.
