    Default Stripping modern laquer

    Hi all, new to the forum, I wonder if I can pick your brains! I have been restoring for years, mainly antiques. I got asked to strip and refinish some modern chairs, ercol type, so did one, but the lacquer was very tough, strong stripper barely touched it. Ended up scraping most of it off which took forever! Is there a type of stripper specifically for these finishes?! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

    I wanted to 'rustic farmhouse' or french provincial' style some dining chairs that had been mass produced sprayed.
    I gave a very light hand sand with 80 grit paper then used
    Rust-Oleum 340g Heirloom White Satin 2X Ultra Cover Paint+Prime Spray Paint. If I did it again I would be buying a tin and using own spray gun.

    Sprayed it straight over the gloss/satin commercial spay and left it for 4 days to really harden, then went around the edges of furniture making it look rustic, the chairs and table are now in a semi commercial environment and handling the abuse well.
    I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

    The "modern lacquer" that may be on your pieces to be stripped is probably a 2 pack. I would get some Automotive paint stripper and give that a burl. When stripping old paint on panels I found even with this hi powered product it would only take one layer at a time. (Removing paint from WW II Jeep Project) I did get all the paint off but took some time.
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    You need to use Methylene Chloride based stripper not the DIY stuff.
