[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 11246, member: 37"]Continue to scrub and make it shabby .... It will sell better :rolleyes: The mineral spirits or turpentine are good suggestions but if alcohol removed the paint (it shouldn't most paints), then there is the possibility that mineral spirits will as well. No substitute for soap and water since there is always some grime that solvents won't touch. Use some grease cutting detergent (dish soap for one) and scrub.
