Title: Removing Paint from a Porcelain Sign Post by: mznb1u on September 17, 2008, 11:00:42 am I may be inheriting a nice porcelain sign that has some paint on it from a careless painter. Are there any safe methods to attempt to remove the paint? The porcelain under the paint looks like it is in good shape.
Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Be sure to use a soft plastic scrapper so you do not scratch the sign while removing the paint. Rinse and clean with warm soapy water. Polish and a coat of wax may help also...
