 clear PVC primer to remove latex paint
Author: sum (FL)

I apologize if this is not really a plumbing subject. Please delete thread if it's inappropriate.

I have in the past when reconfiguring exterior PVC piping that's exposed to sunlight such as pool or spa piping, I had to make a connection of existing pipe (which is painted to keep UV out) to a new coupling.

In that case, I would use primer on the painted pipe end and the purple primer would do a fairly good job to clean the paint off.

I have a situation where a tenant painted the kitchen wall and did such a bad job the paint smeared onto the side of a kitchen cabinet. The cabinet is made of laminated MDF. The paint has already dried and cured, for months. Now I am trying to remove the paint on the cabinet. I thought about the primer I used to get paint off PVC pipe. Obviously I don't want to use purple primer, but was wondering if clear primer may do the trick?

I would say it would work, BUT don't do it. Sand the paint, try rubbing alcohol or a "safe" paint stripper.

Also try Goof Off. Removes some latex paints like magic.
