<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 34353, member: 78"]Hi Joe,</p><p> No you did nothing wrong. If it has a couple of coats, stripping and sanding will have to do. When latex paint first came out in the 40s/50s you could strip it off with ammonia. I had a wonderful Federal bullseye mirror that someone painted with yellow latex paint in the mid 50s and then with a coat of silver radiator paint in the 70s. I removed the two layers using ammonia and Q-tips, when I reached the latex layer with the ammonia it popped off the silver paint.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
