I painted a door a few months ago and made a right pig's ear of it. I used water based paint over oil based and did everything I should i.e. flattened the old gloss, undercoated and then w/b gloss but I suspect my technique wasn't good enough so was left with horrendous brushstrokes.
So I want to remove the old water based paint and get back to a flat surface again which I would normally do with sandpaper and/or a sander but I'm concerned that as it's a lightly panelled door if I sand too much I could end up sanding the panels away!! Apart from taking care when sanding would it be easier stripping the paint off with either chemicals or a heat gun?
