Taking Gloss Off

[sumar]

Hi, my daughter recently bought a house and for some strange reason, the previous owners had glossed the upvc doors! Does anyone please know the best way to remove it . Thank you

I'd give Brush cleaner a go, less harsh than paint stripper.

You're going to have to use a plastic scraper whatever chemical you use. Otherwise you're going to scratch the doors.

Spray an edge with WD40 & peel off paint.

Is it not likely to be grotty underneath and that's why they painted them?

uPVC doors and window frames tend to look fairly grot from new. I can understand opting to hide the cheap plastic look with colour and hoping to pretend that it's wood underneath.

Tams idea works.

Thank you for all your answers, I'll get back to you when we've had a go, Sue
