Any ideas of an easy way to get the pain of these please?

[EuroTrotters]

I have stripped some white internal doors.

These were bespoke made for the opening about 25 years ago. Ive had to strip the payers of white paint off. However, Mrs. EuroTrotter now wants them stained and varnished.

Any ideas of how to get the paint of the beading please?. Ive tried Nitromores and it aint shifting.
The beading is well and truly painted in.

?

If they are made from wood you can get them dipped and stripped

 

[pappajohn]

Just prise them off with a paint scraper, they'll only be pinned, then replace them.
The bead is readily available.
There's even a small gap to get started in the bottom of the pic.
Chances are the bead is a different paler wood to the door so won't evenly stain.

They might actually be white plastic. Stick a small drill in one and look at the swarf that comes out.

have you tried rubbing with some course sandpaper then use paint stripper?

 

[M-J]

Heat and scrape, sandpaper to finish the finer bits.

 

[Just smiffy]

As pappajohn said, re-bead as you’ll have white lines around the joints if you strip them and won’t look good with varnish/stain..

should only be a few panel pins holding them in place..

 

[Reusables]

Mole grips if they fail then Stillsons...

Or like above pop them off and electric sander...how about paint them a darker colour like a sort of feature frame ?

 

[Rob Hammond]

If it’s a water based paint not sure nitromores will shift It .

You'd have to remove the beading & the glass though to do that ,surely ?

failing that tell Mrs Eurotrotter to sort it out.

 

[EuroTrotters]

Thanks for the replies.

it’s wood and not plastic.

May well be the paint that’s the issue

And a lot of paint and putty

 

[Vipar]

I like the contrasting colour idea

 

[Just smiffy]

A sharp knife in the joints to break them...
new beads and then you can clean the glass up too....

if it’s worth doing then do it properly.... you know it makes sense...

Have to be careful getting them dipped, I had ‘professionals‘ do a door for me and all the joints opened up and it cost much more to get it fixed than to buy a decent new door.

As john says ^^ and you can get new beading

If you want to do the other side of the door the moulding will be built in.i.e. not removable. If only doing the side shown then I'd agree with replacing.

Just get a new door!

Elbow grease and some decent sandpaper will do the trick

 

[frwjd]

You could get them dipped in chemicals, works wonders

You could always stain the wood white

Tip; If you have several different woods on the same door (whatever) and you want the stain to be uniform all over
apply 1 coat of matt clear over (water based), when dry rub with a fine Wire wool (available at any good paint trade centre.) just to take the shine off ( yes! there is a shine although faint) then apply stain.

nother tip! if you can get hold of a premium WATER based stain apply then wipe with a soft rag. BEAR IN MIND ; the colour you end up with, is the colour that is shown when the stain is still WET, after you have wiped with the rag. If it's too light, then wait till it is dry before applying the second coat. Rag again When you think you have the right colour, then apply 3 coats water based clear over, of whatever sheen you wish
The above only applies to WATER BASED STAIN .

Want to use an Oil based , then step 1, on step two don't wipe with rag. Then finish with a oil based clear over for a "proper job"

The modern water based paint is just as durable as the oil based.

It’s a DIY job, could be a long wait
