Hello, How would one deal with this. The whold inside of the house,
drywall, window frames,
even the hardware on the windows is painted over with a thick coat of
high gloss paint. Same color through out. Windows are painted shut
What kind of paint is unkown. Under this thick coat of paint there are
several other layers of other paint. Don't know how many layers of
paint. House was built in 1963. I want to start painting room by room
but don't know how to start. Can't imagine sanding all of this paint
down. Seems would take forever and the paint dust would be huge. Rip
out the drywall and start over?
Thanks for any ideas for starting.
Dan.

Could be lead under there... Use a TSP solution to degloss, and paint
with your favorite color. Maybe replace the hardware? Tom

Start with the bathrooms, maybe you won't have to
repaint those. When did you first notice this
thick coat of paint?

To remove paint from wood, use a heat gun. To remove paint from metal
hardware, remove and soak in liquid paint remover. To paint over
drywall, sand down enough (more like scuff) enough for new paint to
stick. I have no good ideas on how to remove paint from plastic. I
don't think it can be done without ruining the plastic. Probably have
to repalce that.
