REMODELING OUR 1928 LOS ANGELES HOUSE, FOUND A BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE WOOD DOOR WITH 9 GLASS PIECES AND BEAUTIFUL BRASS LOCK, WHICH INCLUDED ABOUT 8 COATS OF PAINT OF EVERY POSIBLE COLOR, GREEN REDS, SILVER, BLACK, BROWN, ETC. WE STRIPPED THE DOOR, WHICH STILL SHOWS SOME OF THE REMAINING COLORS AT LITTLE DENTS AND MARKS, ADDS CHARACTER TO OUR RECENTLY APPLIED COAT OF DIAMOND FINISH BARNISH,EXCEPT NOW I HAVE ABOUT 14 OR MORE LITTLE PIECES OF BRASS,THAT ANTIQUE AND ALL, HAVE ALL KINDS OF SLAPPY PAINT JOB SPLASHES AND A THICK COAT OF OIL RED PAINT, HOW CAN I REMOVE THAT THICK COAT OF PAINT FROM MOST OF THE BRASS PIECES, WITHOUT RUINING THE FINISH OR RATHER NATURAL LOOK???? I KNOW YOU GUYS KNOW IT ALL, THANKS. PATRICIA
