Sunnyside 63432 2-Minute Remover Advanced Paint & Varnish Remover Gel, Quart

Have been using various paint removers over the years, but this one is hands-down the very best I have ever used. Not only does it remove paint (enamel as well), but the paint floats away from the items.....quite a pleasure to not have to scrape ANYTHING.....works like a dream!!

What? This works AMAZING! You will not be disappointed. This definitely gets the job done.

Does Not work. Used on a chair with 4 coats of paint. After 3 generous layers of sunnyside, I got first layer of paint off. After 4 additional tries I got 2 more layers off. And that was just 1 small area. Even tried technique of wrapping in plastic for 30 minutes. Don't waste your money if you have a tough job. I've already ordered a different product. This one is trash.

I don’t know what kind of paint I was removing from this metal frame but it had regular looking primer underneath. It wasn’t powder coated for sure, maybe it would’ve worked if it was.It didn’t work at all, only made the surface a little gooey and I wound up cleaning it and sanding it. It didn’t wrinkle up at all. I’ll try it on my next project and see but this one was a bust.

I've used this many times when I need to strip furniture. Very satisfied with the results. May have to do a few times, depending on how many layers of paint, or if you are removing varnish. Removing varnish is much messier than paint. But still, a good product and would purchase again.

Not effective for old multilayered painted surfaces. Underlying paint layers are not softened by this product. Seems reasonably effective for thin single layers only. Other than that, it adheres to vertical surfaces well and does not have an overwhelming chemical smell.Edit: Found a technique that works on old multilayered paint surfaces. Coat the painted surface with this product then cover the area with painters tape ensuring good contact between the tape and the painted surface. Wait for 30 min or longer which allows the product to penetrate to and soften the lowest layers of paint. Works well for ornate profiles that are not amenable to sanding.

I bought a house recently the former owner built himself. The ceiling (upper left corner of photo) and most of the walls are wood. However someone painted the stair rails and trim in a flat dark rust color. I don't like it. I decided to strip and go back to the natural wood. It will compliment the not bright green much better. This stripper works great! I didn't notice it smelling that bad. You do only have a couple of minutes before you need to start scraping it off or it dries up. I used a dry paper towel first and then went over it with a clean damp rag. I think I will also use a wire brush going forward because there is still some paint in some crevices but that is not the fault of the stripper. That being said there is only one coat of paint on those. I am also stripping a chair someone painted in multiple coats of red paint I found in the garage I am stripping as well. You will have to probably do multiple applications to get through thick paint but you would with any stripper. The chair is after two applications on the back and seat. Very pleased.

Follow the directions and the paint remover does its job.
