Cleaning a window with paint overspray

This window is more than just dirty. It has a heavy layer of paint overspray. I’ve already cleaned some of it off. Removing paint from a glass window can be a bit of a headache. Here’s the deal:

1. **What Kind of Paint?** If it’s water-based paint, it’s usually easier to get off. Oil-based paint can be more stubborn and might need stronger stuff to remove it.

2. **Fresh or Old?** New paint splatters come off easier. If it’s been there for a while, it’s going to take more elbow grease.

3. **How Much Paint?** A light mist of paint is no biggie, but if it’s thick, brace yourself for more work.

4. **Got the Right Tools?** Stuff like steel wool or razors, and the right cleaners can make a big difference.

5. **How Good Are You at This?** If you’ve got a steady hand and know what you’re doing, it’ll be easier. If you’re trying this for the first time, be careful, especially with sharp tools.

6. **Be Safe!** Remember, you’re dealing with chemicals and sharp razors, so take care not to hurt yourself or scratch up the window.

In a nutshell, getting paint off your window can be quite a project, depending on these factors. But we can help!
