How to get paint out of a porcelain bathtub? - modern bathtubs
I just bought a house built in the 1960s. We painted the inside walls of thought (laytex painting) and my friend, it would be a good idea to rinse the time, the rollers, brushes, etc. in the bathtub. (Their intentions were good bless)
The fiberglass tub is not modern, but it is the porcelain from the old school, surrounded by ceramic tile. Over the years, the upper protective layer disappeared from the tub, wherein the first porcelain by the weather, which has absorbed all the color.

Stripper should work, tested in an inconspicuous area first.

What he did, as you said that I appear in fact one of the regular complaints about tile stains were caused by accidents. These stains can sometimes deep into the porous and very hard to remove. In general, use of chlorine and other oxidants in these cases, eliminate these deep and difficult stains. But in the case of highly saturated spots, and traces of hard water, does not always fade. Consider these options:
Hydrogen Peroxide
The steam cleaning () for land
There is another way to remove stains from tiles - diluted hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid was regularly used by professionals for decades to treat and dispose of various types of stains are difficult to tile and stone surfaces. When used in domestic locations, it is necessary to ventilate the area and very careful with this acid agent. Thick gloves, goggles and the mask can be used. Dilute acid in acid solution and 60% to 40% water. The mixture and rub the surface with a brush or a soft bristle brush. Once the patch again --moved quickly wash the area and discard the remaining mixture in a safe and adequate.

Fill the bathtub with gasoline and set fire to it.
Linseed oil and to work magic eraser. Erasers, magic was several layers of paint on my walls. Was it an accident. But worth a try. It is much cheaper than replacement or repair.

General advice for those who are not willing to follow this path, use a basic dough and let paint tripper joy in the packaging or the like during the night.
Try to hydrochloric acid. If this does not work, try to gasoline. Furthermore, I do not think I know, try something else, because you can not scratch with a razor blade. You can always painted white, then put polyeurothane with a brush. That's how we meet in an old house rather than buy new ones. It worked perfectly.
I'm not the same thing when we moved into our house 16 years ago .. finally disappeared ..
That is all.
Yes, on foot or Goo Goo Gone ... ITS AWESOME !!!!! =)

Goof on your local Home Depot, or Lowes .... amazing work !!!!!
Tip: Soak 409 (which is better), or imagination, then you use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Or because the damage is done and exposed to raw materials and porcelain, try the 409 with 000 or 0000 steel wool. You must then seal kits.
He used all the bad things so far. Do not use acid or it will replace Muriatric left on the porcelain tub and the tub. You need to paint remover, paint thinner, no. Let stand for a while and then wash down the drain followed by washing with Ajax, a comet or DUA.
Do not use hydrochloric acid. First I want to go to your local Sherwin Williams. They have everything you need for a project like this. Workers who were friendly and efficient. You can try Goo Gone or something Krud Kutter, but the task is to cover the tub with a product called TIleDoc. It is $ 35 for a small portion of the resin and is very easy to implement. Ask Sherwin Williams.
