Hi
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to remove spray paint from the finish on a floor tom I bought? It's an early 70's Ludwig floor tom 18''x20''. It's a white cortex finish that someone painted over with black spray paint. I'm trying to save the white cortex because it's the same color as my set and will be an great addition to it. Thank You in advance to anyone that has a idea. Bob |

I have had good luck with some Graffiti Paint remover I found at Home Depot. Likely a cheap spray paint, but if it is more professional job, you may need something stronger.

I had good luck removing spray paint with a flat-head screw driver, razor blade and a putty knife:
