Does anyone know an effective way to remove spray paint from a glass patio table?

It is a partially textured glass patio table that some Einstein decided to spray paint. I got it for free and I am trying to remove all the paint to just have a clear glass table top again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!Does anyone know an effective way to remove spray paint from a glass patio table?
Go to the local auto parts store. Buy a quart of Acetone from the spray paint section. They sell it in gallons but you'll only need a quart.


Assure there are no sources of ignition nearby (this is best done outdoors in no wind as acetone evaporates quickly) apply some of the acetone to a rag (make it drippy wet) and rub the spray paint off with it. Spray paint will wipe right off with acetone.


Additionally, you are able to use a tooth brush or other non-metal brush to loosen paint from creases in the glass.


Wipe off and clean up with household cleaner or window cleaner and you're in business.


Try not to hang out too long breathing acetone... extended exposure is not good for you.Does anyone know an effective way to remove spray paint from a glass patio table?
Try lowe's or home depot and look in the paint sectioin for spray paint remover. I used to work there and that helped a lot of people. Or even try asking someone who works there for their suggestions
Hmm...textured...I'm thinking water and very fine steel wool. Try a tiny section first.
paint dept. they sell a product called Goof Off ....works good at removing spray paint
