Browse Forums DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair 1 May 23, 2016 2:08 pm Hi, After painting my house I have noticed a few paint spots on our metal horizontal venetian blinds from the oil based primer which has now dried. I have tried removing the paint with turps but having no luck. I want to try something stronger but don't wait to remove the paint off of the blinds at the same time. My next step was going to be kerosene and then acetone. There are so many solvents out there just not sure the right one. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks a lot!

Re: How to Remove Oil Based Paint from Venitian Blinds 4May 25, 2016 3:07 pm Not getting much luck. Tried heat, turps, metho, rubbing alcohol and acetone. Acetone works but strips the paint off the blinds also. The blinds are black so might just need to go over the small paint spots with a marker or something. I'm about to put down some Merbau.
