Can you suggest any products / methods for removing paint off my UPVC window / door frames?

Hi @justin11,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Just to confirm, are you looking to remove the small specks of white paint?

If this is the case, I'd advise using a fresh Utility Knife Blade to gently scrape the paint off. 

Make sure you wear some gloves to prevent any unnecessary lacerations while carrying out this work.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi @justin11 

Before risking scratching the surface, I would try a magic eraser cleaning block and if that doesn't work I would try turpentine then methylated spirit but check the chemicals (Heck check the magic eraser too) in a place that won't stand out to make sure they don't damage the surface. Bear in mind that the chemicals may take a little time to dissolve the paint. I once got stain splatters on a colorbond fence when staining a pergola but managed to to clean it off (after it had dried) with methylated spirit.
