Ok, thanks for the feedback. Just so we know, can you tell us exactly why the ESP didn’t work.
Cheers

four options
just paint over the over-spray -- only you will ever know
strip the skirtings from the walls and take to a commercial paint stripper.
There'll be one somewhere in Brisbane.
strip the skirtings and sell them on here.
buy and install new ones and pain to the desired colour
mask the walls and apply a strong paint stripper by hand -- you will need
1. very good ventilation
2. PPE -- particularly your eyes and any exposed skin
3. to protect the floors
if you go with the Festool linear sander you will also need to buy the custom profile kit.
Also the sander has quirks that take a bit of experience to overcome -- it has tendency to grab, which is related to how it is held and the pressure you apply.
Fein make a profile kit for their multi-tool
then there is this generic kit

Cut to the chase and you have two options. Either find a suitable binder/ sealer or remove the coating
Painters I use prefer the Zinzer over the ESP, I would give it a try.
Failing that you are going to need to remove the loose coating. You could try a paint stripper or heat gun and a profiled scraper or steel wool. Or maybe a paint thinners and scothbrite to remove just the overspray ?
Another option if the skirting is nothing special is just replace it with a new one and start again. You could go up a size so as to cover any wall damage.

Hi Arron, I suspect the ESP didnt work as it is not designed to make existing paint adhere better. Rather, it is designed to make new paint adhere better, in particular, gloss surfaces.

Thanks Ian, It is useful to understand that that those multitool accessories exists.

Tonight I tried a basic metal scrapper and it worked a treat. The concave surfaces are still a challenge. I think if can find a suitable scrapper to get into the curves then I have the answer. Suspect I have about 4 hours of scrapping ahead of me.

Carbatec has various curved scrapers that might fit

If I understand it correctly, the walls were sprayed with “plastic”paint and the overspray is onto a gloss paint, not sure with a water based gloss but I have removed “plastic” paint from bricks, aluminium window frames and enamel gloss paints using a cloth balled up and methylated spirits, it is not instant and requires a little rubbing at first but it does come off fairly easily. This was done on a house where the previous owner had never heard of masking tape or cutting in. As to how old the paint was, couldn’t tell you but it certainly wasn’t new.
Not sure how it would go over the water based enamel, but as the water based enamel tends not to allow things to stick when used on shelves it may work ok.Regards,
Bob
