You can remove the paint purely mechanically. To do this, you will need: a spatula of different sizes and a bulgarian, on which a wire brush is installed - crawling. It is also possible to use a plane oxylinding machine, but it is not very suitable when processing large surfaces, it quickly comes to the disrepair installed on it sandpaper. First, you process the entire surface of the door with the help of a grinder with a steel brush, then everything that remains, we are improving with spatulas (used for this and such a tool like a cycle). This method is rather time consuming and requires the use of considerable physical force. Note: When using this method, a lot of dust and garbage!

After the paint softens and squeeze, remove it with a spatula. It may be so that the paint is dissolved at all, in this case, they simply wash the door with water. Note that this method is very toxic, it is possible to use it only outside the house! Although it works fast, but the strong smell of chemicals remains for a long time. It is very important to accurately adhere to the instructions when using chemical compositions! Observe precautions not to get chemical burns and inxication by couples! Usually the purchase mixtures are pretty expensive, at home you can cook such a step: the caustic soda is poured into the water until it stops dissolving, then add tolko (oatmeal) there, we bring to the consistency of the paste.
