Thread: Paint On Table

If it is water based paint it might be worth trying metho or a mixture of equal parts metho and water. This will remove some water paints and should not damage enamel underneath. Suggest you try a small patch first.
You might ring Triton and ask their advice as they should know what will or will not damage their paint.
It it is necessary to strip the lot do a search on this forum as the formula for Triton colour was posted a few months ago
Hope this helps

I beleive the Triton original paint job is 'powder coat' - a sort of vitreous enamel that is sprayed on as a powder & then melted in an oven, which is why they don't seel touch-up paint.

I believe that ordinary paint stripper should be safe - give it a dab on an inconspicuous part (like unter the top) and see what happens in an hour or so - if the original finish doesn't bubble off, you are right to strip the sludge off the top.

You could suggest that the S.O. goes to the local fabric shop & buys a metre or two of heavy plastic sheet - poly tarps let the paint thru' - so she won't make a mess next time on ANYTHING, like the kitchen table, floor etc.

Tony, been there and done that myself. When completely dry I was able to remove it by very gently scraping with a putty knife.

Don't strip all the paint and do a repaint as Triton stuff is powder coated, and the surface you will put on will wear very quickly.

If all else fails you can always get her to buy a replacement top from Triton.

The Triton web site has the recipe for a touchup paint.

I've posted the recipe and the link previously, but it's in the FAQs of the Triton site if you can't find it here.
