How do you get paint off of wood cupboards without harming the finish?

If it is acrylic paint, you should be able to gently scrape of paint splatters and the like either with your finger nail or a gentle tool that won't risk gouging the wood doors. If this doesn't work (or if it isn't acrylic paint) you can use a very fine grit sandpaper and apply almost no pressure at all. This will take time as your goal is to avoid damaging the finish, so go slow. If the varnish does get scuffed a bit, you should be able to spot-apply some to conceal the scuff - your local paint shop should be able to best advise you on which exact product would be best to use.

it is a lot of work. if the grain is deep you'll never get the paint out completely. if they are kitchen cupboards, just buy new doors. better still, paint them a color you do like.

oh, I see. if it is oil paint I would use white spirit on a cloth to soften it then scrape with the edge of an old credit card





depending on the design of the doors, you may be able to take the hinges off and turn them around, so the inside becomes the outside





if it is emulsion, use water and a cloth or a small brushHow do you get paint off of wood cupboards without harming the finish?
I assume you mean without harming the wood, as the paint is the finish.


The only true way is to sand the paint off with fine sandpaper. Chemical strippers can raise the grain, and dissolve the glue joints.


However, most cabinets are too large, and have too many crevices to effectively sand. The next best option is to use a chemical stripper that is brushed on, (not a chemical dip)
i used rubbing alcohol, .
