[R-390] Paint Recommendation (Knobs)

[rbethman]

Yes, strip the old paint off.  Choose your poison!  Give ample thought 
to safety.

Personally, I use lacquer thinner.  That is a personal preference.  I 
place items in a container, pour a "bit" over them, swish around several 
times, and let the solvents do the work.  It becomes very easy to brush 
off the paint.

I've been leery about the use of paint strippers.  Many are incompatible 
with some metals.  They can be a real mess, and are easily just as 
hazardous or more so than the lacquer thinner.  I just ensure I perform 
this outside on my deck.
