It is a nice door and most of the paint peeled off but this spot is stuck. It is a smooth finish with some sort of fiber board under it. I have tried a razor scaper but it won’t budge from this section.
Jun 13, 2014 - If you need to strip paint, I have some tips and a tutorial for you! ... Here's the back story: My home's doors have been purple for over 7 years.
Mar 31, 2018 - Primer plus paint is always a favorite for those of us that have painted mobile homeinterior doors and cabinets because it covers well and lasts
I am assuming the door is either metal or wood. I would use some paint stripper. Brush it on, let it set a few minutes and rub off with old newspaper. Then finish as you like with paint if it is metal and paint or stain if it is wood.
I don't know for sure, but I'm wondering if you steamed it a bit to get it warm, if it would scrape off? If you try this and use a steam iron, I'd put a piece of cloth over the area so it doesn't get burned. Good luck!
It's probably oil based paint, (looks like it), so whatever you do, it may damage the wood grain below it.
Remove the door, put a thick bath towel over it, pour hot tap water, not boiling water, over it, and leave it for 30 minutes or so. Then try your scraper. At the worse, nail polish remover will remove oil based paint, but as mentioned, it may damage the underlying finish.
Try using a blow dryer on low heat just to soften the paint very carefully and scrape it off. Don't get it too hot so you don't harm the fake woodgrain. Wave the blower over the paint to distribute the heat while slowly scraping. There also is a possibility that the woodgrain paper was damaged in that spot and the fiberboard exposed. That could be why it was painted and the paint bonded to the fiberboard.
