Removing Paint from White UPVC

imroberts · 8 Jan 2020

I've just picked up a used composite door for a garden building.

The inside of the frame (white UPVC) is covered in paint and I'm not sure how best to remove it.

Finger nail usually does it.

is it gloss or emulsion?

I have used a hand held steamer to remove paint from UPVC, like the one below:
