Hi Laurie, Use a paint stripper and a scraper.
Dawn dish soap & hot/warm water worked for me!
It depends upon the type, how much and where. A few little splatters can be scraped off. A large area may need paint remover or sanding.
It depends on how much paint, how long its been sitting and what type of wood it is on.
If it is fresh paint and just splattered, you might be able to scrape it off with a sharp straight edged utility knife.
If it has dried for a long time, you'll need to sand or strip it with chemical stripper. If the wood is all finished and there are just a few splatters, hot water and dawn on a rag might work. Goodluck!!
If it's a large area you're looking to remove, try Citristrip. It has removed so much paint easily and quickly for me!
